# Using Scanning Flags to manage ticket types on entry

## Scanning flags allow you to create a visual cue for gate staff when scanning tickets based on ticket type.

This is a great option for verifying concession or child/junior ticket eligibility on entry or can be used to flag special ticket types like VIPs who may need different access at your events or tickets with a merchandise inclusion that may need to be collected on entry.

When you successfully scan a ticket, the [INTIX Scanner](https://help.intix.com/intix-scanner-app?hsLang=en-au) app displays a **green screen** with a tick and details of the ticket type scanned. 

If a ticket cannot be scanned or has been used, a **red screen** with a cross will display as well as a reason for the ticket being un-scannable.

If you set a Scanning Flag on a ticket type, when this ticket type is successfully scanned an **amber screen** and a tick will display.
