How to set up and use the visitor self-sign-in kiosk in Lobbytrack

You can run the lobbytrack's lobby app in self sign-In mode on a tablet. Visitors can use the visitor sign-in app to sign in with or without the help of a receptionist. You can create a streamlined, step-by-step process where visitors take self-photos, sign NDAs, and even print visit badges.

Method 1 – Allow the visitor to sign in – receptionist not required

Using this method, you can allow the visitors to fill up the information form and complete the sign in process themselves. You do not need the receptionist to complete this process. You can also set up and connect a printer to print visitor badges once the sign in is complete. Please follow the steps listed below:

  1. Open the "Lobbytrack Lobby" app on the tablet that will be used by the visitors to register.

  2. Tap on the settings icon at the top left corner.

Method 2 – Allow the visitor to only register the Visit – Receptionist required to complete the check in

Using this method, you can allow the visitors to fill up the information form just to register themselves. Upon filling up the form, the visitor will be asked to walk up to the receptionist to complete the sign in process. The receptionist will see the visitor record on their tablet, and they will be able to tap on the record to complete the sign in process.

The first 5 steps for the setup are the same as above. In step 6, you need to make sure that you enable the setting "ask visitor to see receptionist to complete sign in".

The visitor registration process will also be the same as above. Please go through steps 7-15 to understand how the visitor experience will be. Once the visitor reviews and submits the information, rather than printing a badge, the application will ask the visitor to meet the receptionist to complete the sign in process.
