How to make a sign-in sheet

1. Type the title — for example “Workshop sign-in sheet”, “Visitor log” or “Volunteer check-in”.
2. Edit the date and location line.
3. Tick the columns you need. Name, email and signature are ticked by default; add phone, organisation, time in and out, host, opt-in or dietary needs as required.
4. Choose the number of rows and the orientation. Landscape fits more columns comfortably.
5. Print, or save as PDF from the print dialog. The CSV download gives you the same columns as an empty spreadsheet for typing up the results afterwards.

Which columns for which situation

Collecting contact details responsibly

A sign-in sheet is visible to everyone who signs after you, so collect only what you really need, and consider whether email addresses and phone numbers should be on a shared sheet at all. For marketing follow-up, an opt-in column lets people choose whether they want to be contacted. Keep completed sheets somewhere secure, type them up promptly if needed, and dispose of them when no longer required. Depending on where you are, privacy laws such as the GDPR or state privacy laws may apply to how you collect and use this information.

Tips for a smooth sign-in

• Place the sheet on a clipboard with two or three pens at the entrance.
• For large events, print several sheets and split them alphabetically by surname.
• Number the rows so you can count attendees quickly.
• Write the date and event name on every page so pages do not get mixed up.
• For visitor logs, record time out as well as time in so you know who is still on site in an emergency.
• Type up the sheet within a day while handwriting is still easy to query.

Worked example

A community workshop expects 35 people. The organiser ticks name, email, organisation, opt-in and signature, chooses 20 rows in landscape, and prints two copies. The note at the bottom explains that ticking “Y” in the opt-in column means agreeing to receive the follow-up newsletter. After the event, the CSV template is opened in a spreadsheet, the entries are typed in, and only the opted-in emails are added to the mailing list.

Digital sign-in versus paper

Paper sign-in sheets are fast, need no equipment and work anywhere, which is why they remain common for meetings, classes and small events. Digital check-in on a tablet or through an online form avoids retyping and handwriting problems and can keep entries private from later signers. Many organisers use both: paper as a backup, or paper at the door with a digital form for pre-registration. The CSV download on this page gives you matching columns so both sources can be combined.

Designing a sheet people actually fill in

Short sheets get complete answers. Every extra column slows the queue at the door and increases the chance that people skip fields or write illegibly. Put the most important column — usually the name — first and make it the widest. Leave rows tall enough for handwriting; about a third of an inch (8–9 mm) is comfortable. If you need an email address, allow a wide column, because emails are the field most often squeezed and misread. Printing the sheet in landscape when you need more than five columns keeps every field usable, and a clear title at the top tells people what they are signing for.

Typing up and using the results

After the event, type the entries into the CSV template the same day, while you can still ask about unclear handwriting. Check for duplicates, standardise names and organisations, and keep only the fields you need. If you promised to send follow-up information only to people who opted in, filter by that column before adding anyone to a mailing list. Then store or shred the paper sheets according to your retention policy.

Sign-in sheets for safety and compliance

Some sign-in records have practical safety value. Visitor logs let a building manager know who is on site during an evacuation; training attendance sheets are evidence that required safety training took place; volunteer logs record hours for insurance or grant reporting. For these uses, include the date on every page, record times accurately, keep the sheets for as long as your organisation's policy requires, and store them where authorised people can find them when needed.
