Getting started

This page takes you from the first login to the first printed badge.

1. Log in

Open the address where OdbavTo runs (e.g. https://odbavto.example.com) and log in with your username and password. Your account is created by the administrator (see Users).

Login page

Local installation

When installed on your own PC (without Docker), an account odbavto / odbavto is created automatically on an empty database. Change the password after the first login.

Switch the interface language with the globe icon in the top bar.

2. Create an event

  1. On the home page, click Create Event.
  2. Fill in the name, date and optionally a description.
  3. Save. The event appears as a card on the home page; click the card to open it.

Event list

Each user sees only their own events. Tickets, printers, settings and the log always belong to a specific event.

3. Add tickets

There are three ways to get tickets into an event:

4. Add a printer

In the event, open Manage → Settings → Printing and check-in → Printers and click Add printer. The most common choices:

Situation Print backend
Laptop at the entrance with a USB printer WebUSB
Network printer (e.g. Brother QL-820NWB) Network (TCP/IP)
Scanning on a phone, printer at another PC Agent

See Printing badges for details.

5. Check-in

In the event menu, click Scan. Allow the browser to use the camera and scan a ticket's QR code. A valid ticket is marked as used and the badge is printed.

Scanner after a successful check-in

The camera requires HTTPS

Browsers allow the camera (and WebUSB) only on a secure https:// address or on localhost. If the camera does not work, ask your administrator whether the app runs over HTTPS.
