Creating a Visitor Pass
Step 1
After logging into the Staff Portal, select Visitors in the left side menu or in the center of the screen.
Step 2
Select Add Visitor. A drop-down will appear allowing you to select Create visitor pass, Import via CSV, or Download sample CSV.
Tip: If importing via CSV, download the sample CSV first. |
Step 3
Enter all occupant and visitor information and select Submit.
Step 4
The visitor pass is texted, emailed, or printed (if the property has a pass printer installed). The visitor can be checked in from here.
Printing Visitor Badges in Bulk
Staff can print Visitor Badges after manually creating Visitor Passes in bulk. This is helpful if a large group of visitors is expected. Staff can save time by preemptively printing badges instead of searching for the visitor upon arrival.
Note: This workflow only works when manually adding in bulk, not when uploading via CSV. |
Step 1
Select Visitors under the left side menu features or in the center of the screen.
Step 2
Select Add Visitor and then Create visitor pass in the drop-down.
Step 3
Add the visitor contact details, selecting Add another visitor to continue adding visitors.
Step 4
When you are finished adding Visitors, deselect Add another visitor and select Submit.
Step 5
This will open a window prompting Print badges for newly added visitors? Select Yes to print the badges.
Authorized Visitors in the Staff Portal
Authorized Visitors are visitors that have a visitor pass valid for today or in the future.
Step 1
To view visitor passes that are valid in the future, select the date range you would like to view under Date.
Step 2
This will show visitor passes that are valid during that time period. Visitor passes that are not valid today, but in the future will be listed as Invalid Pass.
To see the validity of a visitor pass, select the pass, this will open up the visitor details. |
Existing Visitors in Staff Portal
Existing Visitors are visitors that have used their visitor pass or the Kiosk to check-in. This is a record of visitors coming into your property. Use the filters on the right side to search for specific visitors.
