Capacity monitoring

Track live attendance and capacity headroom from the Overview tab and the Cockpit's Dashboard module. The Cockpit updates in real time via Supabase Realtime; the Overview tab shows a snapshot of confirmed registrations.

Updated May 26, 2026


Mercleo Events surfaces capacity and attendance data in two places: the Overview tab of the event dashboard for registration-time planning, and the Cockpit's Dashboard module for live, day-of monitoring.

Overview tab counts

The Overview tab shows three capacity-related stats:

  • Checked in — the count of attendees checked in today, expressed as a number and percentage of total confirmed tickets (e.g., 142 / 300, 47%).
  • Capacity filled — confirmed registrations as a percentage of the event's capacity ceiling. Displays "—" when no capacity is set on the event.
  • Registration breakdown bar — a visual bar showing confirmed registrations, cancelled registrations, and remaining capacity headroom.

Capacity filled counts confirmed registrations only. Pending and waitlisted registrations are not included in the percentage.

Cockpit Dashboard live tiles

On the day of your event, open the Cockpit's Dashboard module (?module=now) for real-time counts driven by Supabase Realtime. Four tiles update as events occur:

  • Checked in today — cumulative check-in count for the day, shown with the total confirmed ticket count.
  • Arrival rate — check-ins per minute, averaged over the last five minutes.
  • Still expected — total confirmed tickets minus checked-in count.
  • Inbox unread — unread walk-in or queue messages; the tile is highlighted when the count is above zero.

Multi-day capacity scoping

For multi-day events, the Cockpit scopes all capacity tiles to the day index you have selected. Ticket types with a day_indices array only contribute to the counts for the days they are valid. A VIP day-one ticket, for example, does not appear in the Still expected count on day two.

Switch the active day in the Cockpit day-selector to see counts scoped to that day only.

Arrival rate approximation

The arrival rate tile is approximated client-side after page load. Each check-in event received by the browser increments a local counter by 0.2; the counter is then averaged over the five-minute window. Under sustained arrival bursts the displayed figure can drift from the true rate.

If the arrival rate looks wrong during a heavy check-in period, refresh the page to re-anchor the counter against the current window.
