If you register a contact that already exists in your address book, their details will appear in the visitor dashboard. If you register a new contact, their details will appear in the visitor dashboard and be added to the address book.

How to check-in/check-out the visitor or cancel their visit

Once the visitor is registered, you can check them in or out by editing their status column in the Visitor Dashboard. Here you can also cancel their visit, if needed.

Visitors can also check-in by themselves, using the digital reception app. To do this, they have to scan the QR code sent to their email upon registration. Once they do this, you, as the host, will receive an email notification about the visitor's arrival to the office.

Once you check someone out or cancel the visit, it is not possible to get back to the previous status.
