NEW FEATURES & UPDATES

Visitor Management

Features

Description

Flexible Guest Registration

This release introduces Flexible Guest Registration, a significant enhancement to Visitor Management (VM) designed to streamline guest check-ins and provide organizations with greater adaptability in managing visitor information. This feature addresses the challenges faced by businesses with active reception desks or those managing visitors who may not have personal email addresses, such as minors accompanying adults. By accommodating alternative check-in methods, Flexible Guest Registration ensures a smoother and more efficient experience for both visitors and staff. Key Enhancements and Functionalities: Optional Email Registration: The email field is now optional during registration, simplifying the process and enabling visitors to be registered using only their first and last name. Administrators can also configure alternative contact methods, such as phone number support for check-in/check-out notifications and alerts. Name-Based Identification at the Kiosk: Kiosks now utilize essential personal information, such as first and last names, for quick and efficient visitor identification. Administrators can customize data requirements to streamline the registration process by requiring only necessary fields. New Kiosk Check-In Flow for Visitors Without Email: This feature provides a new check-in flow for visitors without email addresses. Visitors can check in using only their full name, and the system automatically searches Visitor Management (VM) and Space Reservation (SR) records to find a matching meeting. If a match is found, the kiosk displays possible meetings with host names for easy selection. Visitors then complete a simple form with optional details to finalize check-in and trigger a host notification. An alternative check-in flow is also available for visitors who cannot locate their meeting, enabling them to select a host and provide visit details. Flexible Guest Registration offers customizable VM workflows, enhanced flexibility, improved reception-assisted experiences, and accommodation of varied visitor profiles. This results in operational efficiency, increased user satisfaction, and enhanced security through a more controlled and adaptable visitor registration process.

Device App Update Management: Viewing Inherited Software Update Time in Device Configuration	In this release, inherited software update settings are now displayed on the Device Configuration Page, improving visibility and management for System Administrators: Automatic Updates: Devices in the root location show the root’s inherited Automatic app update value.

Manual Updates: Devices in the root location show the root’s inherited Manual app update value. Devices in sub-locations display the inherited Manual app update value from their sub-location or the root. Handling of Unscheduled Manual Updates: If Manual app updates are unscheduled in the root location, no inherited value is displayed in sub-location settings or Device Configuration Pages.
