Visit eContact and navigate to Work Items-->Events. From there, search for and select the event of interest to you.

Download the resulting file (in this case, "EventNo-<EvenNo>_<EventName>.json") and prepare it for transfer to your check-in tool. (transfer using your IronKey or email this off to your FAN account)

2. Upload the generated file to the Offline Check-In server:
