Every Badge event has a unique 6-character access code that lets your check-in staff open the mobile station without signing in to TalkValue. This page shows where the code lives in the dashboard, what’s safe to share, and how to hand it off on event day.
Before you start
  • The event is created in Badge. See Add an event.
  • You have a workspace role with access to the event page (any role with read access shows the Staff Access card).
  • Your staff have a phone or tablet with a modern browser (Safari on iOS, Chrome on Android).

​
Open the event page

Open TalkValue Badge from the dashboard, then click the event you’re staffing. The event page has a Staff Access card in the middle of the layout, alongside the Badge Template card. The Staff Access card shows:
  • A QR code that links straight to the staff station for this event.
  • The 6-character access code in a monospace block, with a Copy button next to it.
  • A short hint: “Enter at /badge/staff or scan QR”.

​
Copy the code

Click the copy-icon button next to the code. The code lands on your clipboard and a confirmation appears. The code is six characters of letters and digits (for example, R4K8ZP), short enough to read out over a radio if your staff already has the URL open.

​
What to share with your staff

You have three ways to hand off access, in order of speed:
  • QR code only. Print the Staff Access card or screenshot it onto a flyer. Staff scan the QR with their phone camera and land on the mode picker directly. No typing.
  • Code only. Send the 6 characters in Slack, SMS, or print them on the staff brief. Staff open app.trytalkvalue.com/badge/staff, type the code (the input uppercases as they type), and land on the mode picker.
  • Full URL. Send the deep link app.trytalkvalue.com/badge/staff/<code> directly. Useful when staff are already on a chat app and tapping a link is faster than scanning a QR.
All three end up at the same place: the event’s mode picker, where staff pick Check-in mode or Station mode. See Open on mobile for what that looks like.

​
Preview before handoff

Two action buttons in the event page header, Station mode and Check-in mode, open the staff UI directly from the dashboard. Click either to see exactly what your staff will see after they enter the code. Use the preview to confirm the print station is connected, attendees imported correctly, and the QR scanner opens with camera permission, before doors open.

​
What the code does and doesn’t unlock

The access code is scoped to one event. It does not grant any of:
  • Dashboard access to other events in the workspace.
  • Workspace settings, integrations, or billing.
  • The ability to delete or edit the event.
  • Access to attendees outside this event.
What the code does grant, for any staff member who has it, is the ability to check attendees in to this event, print badges to paired print stations, and view the event’s attendee list. Treat the code like an event-day password: short-lived, scoped, and fine to share with the staff team but not in a public Slack channel.

​
Sharing tips for event day

  • Print posters with the QR for staff-only areas. A QR poster at the staff briefing table cuts onboarding to seconds.
  • Pin the URL in your event Slack channel so staff coming on for a later shift can find it without re-asking.
  • Have a backup paper copy. If the staff Wi-Fi network has an issue mid-event, you can still read the code aloud or hand a printed slip to a new staff member.
  • The code is case-insensitive. The staff input uppercases as they type, so r4k8zp and R4K8ZP are the same code.

​
Revoking access

The access code stays valid for as long as the event exists. Deleting the event from the workspace invalidates the code immediately, and any staff session loaded from that code stops working on the next request. If you want to rotate the code mid-event for security reasons, contact support.
