Group sign in
Group sign in lets several visitors who arrive together sign in one after the other, without anyone having to walk back to the start screen of the tablet between them. Use it for delegations, audit teams, tour groups and delivery crews that all come to see the same host. It is switched on per visit type, so it only shows up for the visit types you choose.
Switch on group sign in for a visit type
-
Open the Vizito backoffice and select “Account settings” > “Visit types” in the left menu.
-
Click “Edit” on the visit type you want group sign in for.
-
On the “General” tab, switch on “Enable group sign in”. It sits between “Visitor satisfaction” and “Automatic signout”.
-
Click “Save”.
Sign in a group at the tablet
-
Tap “Sign In” and pick the visit type you switched group sign in on for.
-
Fill in the first visitor’s details and switch on “Signing in as a group?”, underneath the fields.
-
Finish this visitor’s sign-in as usual. Which screen comes last depends on how your account is set up. In the example below the visitor is asked for an optional signature.
-
Tap “Yes” when the tablet asks “Would you like to sign in another person for this group?”.
-
Enter the next visitor’s details and finish their sign-in the same way. Repeat until everybody is in, then tap “No”.
Only the first person of the group is offered the “Signing in as a group?” switch. After you tap “Yes” the form reopens for the next member with the host already filled in and without the switch, so each following visitor only enters their own details.
Agreements, signatures and validity
Every member of the group signs in as a separate visitor, so each of them gets the full flow: the agreements of the visit type are shown to each person, and each person signs if “Enable signature” is on. Nobody signs on behalf of the group. If you want an agreement shown only to the first person of a group, for instance a group safety briefing, contact us through the chat in the backoffice and we set that agreement to group-only for you.
Agreements that expire after a number of days (“Custom terms” on the agreement) are tracked per person as well: a member who accepted the agreement last week is not asked again, the member next to them is. Each visit stays a visit of its own in the visitor log and on the emergency list, with its own sign-out.
For a large group, a delegation of thirty or a training day, group sign in at the tablet is slow. Register the members up front instead, or send them a self-registration link, and let them look themselves up or scan their code at the tablet.
