Learn more about the multiple ways you can sign in visitors.
A key part of any visitor management system is the ability to capture visitor information. To capture this information, visitors must sign in.
Read MoreWhen a visitor signs in, Workwise creates their visitor entry. Think of this entry as the record of their visit: It contains all of the visitorâs information, including sign-in and out times, their photo, signed legal documents and more. Entries appear on the dashboard in real time when the visitor signs in, and you can view all of the entry on your dashboard.
Itâs likely that most entries will get created when visitors sign in on the tablet. Itâs important to understand the different types of tablet sign-in that Workwise Visitors Management supports.
If you have unexpected visitors, or if you simply prefer not to use pre-registration, any visitor can sign in on the tablet. Itâs self-explanatory for the visitor, since the tablet walks them through each step of the sign-in flow.
Theyâll simply tap the âTap to sign inâ button and proceed through the sign-in flow. When the visitor completes all required sign-in steps, the entry will appear on your dashboard.
If a visitor has signed in with Workwise Visitors Management at your location before, your kiosk will ârecognizeâ them based on their full name. Their fields fill in automatically. This speeds up sign-in to provide a better visitor experience.
To sign in, returning visitors will still tap the âTap to sign inâ button and sign in using the standard flow. Once Workwise âseesâ their email, the rest of their fields will fill in automatically.
Workwise pre-registration feature allows you to create invites for your expected visitors. While pre-registration has many benefits, a main perk is that it creates a better visitor experience.
When an invited visitor signs in on the tablet, theyâll tap the âTap to sign inâ button, then fill in the name field. If their name is a match to any invites on that day, the rest of their fields will fill in automatically.
- Invites match based on name, and must match exactly. Unfortunately, Workwise cannot match based on nicknames or typos.
When a visitor signs in using Visitors, theyâll go through your customized sign-in flow. Learn more below!
When a visitor signs in using Visitors, theyâll go through your customized sign-in flow. The sign-in flow is more than just collecting a visitorâs name and sign-in time. It can include multiple different steps that allow you to collect the detailed visitor information you need.
Read MoreThe sign-in flow begins when your visitor taps the âTap to sign inâ button on your tabletâs welcome screen. After that, theyâll be guided through the series of steps that allow them to sign in.
- The sign-in flow automatically guides visitors to the next step, so itâs easy to use.
- Itâs an all-in-one solution, so it can replace your logbook, camera, scanner and more.
Below, read more about the different steps of the sign-in flow.
âTap to sign inâ
The âTap to sign inâ button appears on your tabletâs welcome screen. Visitors tap this button to start the sign-in flow.
During this step, your visitors will fill out the sign-in fields youâve set up. Common fields include email address and/or phone number, host, and company name.
This step allows you to collect a visitorâs signature on a legal documents, like a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), waiver, photo release, or safety agreement.
This step allows you to capture a photo of your visitors using the tabletâs front-facing camera. Having visitor photos can help you identify your guest when you greet them in the lobby, and it can also provide an additional layer of security in the event of an emergency or evacuation.
This step allows you to show additional information to your visitor at the end of the sign-in flow. You can show text, an image or a video.
Although the tablet portion of the sign-in flow ends with the final screen, badge printing is also considered part of the sign-in flow. The visitorâs badge will be printed by the receptionist once they reach the final screen on the tablet.
Learn about the benefits of using sign-out and the different ways you can sign out visitors.
While it is important to capture visitor information and their sign-in time, sign-out can also be an important component of visitor management.
Read MoreWhen a visitor signs out, their visitor entry gets updated to include their sign-out time. There are several ways to sign out a visitor:
- With self sign-out enabled, visitors can sign themselves out using the tablet.
- You can also manually sign out visitors from the dashboard.
- Sign out times appear on your dashboard and in visitor data exports, so itâs easy to capture for audit and compliance purposes.
- Capturing sign-out times helps you create an accurate picture of whoâs in the building, which can help in the event of emergency or evacuation.
This feature allows visitors to sign themselves out using the tablet.
When you do, the words Checkout out will appear at the bottom of your tabletâs welcome screen. When visitors tap Check out, theyâll be prompted to type their email and they would tap the sign out button.
