Go to ConsoleSettingsVisitor forms and select Add visitor type.
- Type its Name and pick its Icon.
- Select Add and build its form.
Add the questions this kind of visit needs, then select Publish. Publishing turns the type on at the desk, on kiosks and in invitations.
Good to Know
- Every organisation has six built-in types: Meeting, Interview, Delivery, Contractor, Event and Other. They're on every plan and never count towards your limit.
- Types you add, while turned on, count towards your plan: 3 on Starter, 15 on Growth, and as many as you need on Pro and Enterprise. Turning one off frees its place.
- To let visitors choose the type when they ask to visit, turn on Pre-registration on the type's page.
- Select Rename on the type's page to change its name. Visits already recorded keep their type.
- Developers get a key made from the name, which never changes even if you rename it.
If Something Goes Wrong
- Add visitor type is greyed out. Your plan's visitor types are all in use. Turn one off, or upgrade in ConsoleSettingsBilling.
- You can't delete a type. Only a type you added that was never published or used can be deleted. Turn it off instead.
- The type doesn't show on the kiosk. Its form hasn't been published yet, or the kiosk hasn't synced. Publish it and check the kiosk is online.
