Sign In App Documentation

The Today screen is a live view of all your site's sign ins. As people sign in, they automatically pop into the view. You do not need to refresh the page. Their name and sign in time is displayed.

Select site

If you have Sign In App installed over multiple sites, it's important to make sure you are always viewing the correct site when using the online portal. On the Today screen, the site name appears on the dropdown on the left side of the screen - e.g. Head Office in the example below.

If you have multiple sites and are not on the correct one, click the site name to switch between sites. From here you can also view your remote site and any events.

Visitor groups

Each visitor group is displayed above the list with a total showing the number of visitors signed in on this site. Clicking one will show the people signed in and out for that group. For more information about groups, click here.

Click on a visitor to see more information (including any additional custom fields you have set). When you select a visitor, you will also see the option to manually sign them out from the site. If the visitor photo feature is enabled, each visitor's photo will be displayed. You can also view safety check status and protect records.

Protect records

You may have sign in records that shouldn’t be deleted in line with the group’s data retention settings. You can protect these records so they’re kept permanently until they’re changed to unprotected. Select the record you need and then click the padlock button to protect this sign in record.

Safety check status

On the Today screen, a green icon will appear next to records that have passed your site safety check. Clicking into a record will show you the time/date the certificate was issued and which portal user created the certificate. You can read about setting up safety check here.

Internal notes

From the Today screen you can add notes to a visit record either on sign in or after the visitor has signed in. These notes are not visible to the visitor, but can be viewed by other portal users with the permission to view the Today screen.

On sign in

If you sign a visitor in from the Today screen you can add a note whilst populating the visitor name and custom fields. This note can be edited or added to after the sign in is complete.

After sign in

If you need to edit the note or you would like to add a note to a visitor who has not been signed in from the Today screen you can select the group on the today screen and click the record of the visitor to expand it. From there you can add a note against the visit record.

A visit record with a note icon next to it indicates that a note has been added against that visitor. You can click the visit record to view and edit the note.

Badges (Standard visitor groups)

When you click to expand a visitor record from the Today screen for a Standard visitor group you will see an option called Badge. From here you can view the badge for this visitor, clicking Reprint badge will reprint a badge from the printer connected to the iPad the visitor signed in from.

Documents (Standard visitor groups)

The Documents section shows the Message agreements the visitor has agreed to. Clicking the download button allows you to download a PDF document of the Message agreement.

Filters

The Today screen will show currently signed IN visitors by default. You can use the filter dropdown to change the information visible.

• Signed in (Default) - Shows all standard or repeat visitors who are currently signed in.
• Signed out (Default if sign out first enabled) - Shows all standard or repeat visitors who are currently signed out.
