New Feature Release: Custom Sign-In Buttons, Area Management & More

VisiPoint have just released some awesome new features this month:

• Custom User Types
• Areas, Destinations and Locations
• Intelligent Insights Report

We’ll take you through why we’ve developed each of these unique features and how to use them to further enhance your visitor sign-in process.

Custom User Types

The bottom line:

Custom User Types enables you to create your own sign-in buttons for your device home screen.

With Custom User Types you can create new User Types to use on top of the default VisiPoint User Types – Staff, Visitor, Contractor, Student, Delivery.

The default Kiosk Layout for the VisiPoint sign-in process uses these User Types – with the addition of Student for our education customers.

With Custom User Types you can add to these buttons, or change them to be completely bespoke to your organisation. You can also create different layouts for different entrances, buildings or sites.

Areas, Destinations and Locations

The bottom line: With Areas, Destinations and Locations Areas and Destinations you have more advanced control over multiple devices across different entrances, buildings and sites.

Using these tools, you can:

• decide which sign-in buttons display on each of your devices
• direct users to specific locations
• track use of specific facilities
• assign groups and clubs to locations
• create memberships for facilities

Areas, Destinations and Locations are linked to Custom User Types and Kiosk layout to provide this powerful functionality.

Intelligent Insights Report

The bottom line:

Intelligent Insights is an awesome new reporting which gives you even more real-time information about your organisation.

Here’s a quick look at some example stats:

You can filter by dates, export and print the reports.
