Introduction
If you are having a large group of visitors, use Assisted Sign-in to speed up the sign-in process. This functionality allows users to perform either a full sign-in for visitors in the iLobby portal, or a partial sign-in by transferring the session to the kiosk if a photo capture, signing documents, etc. is required to finish the process.
Assisted sign-in is an add-on feature. To have this function enabled for your environment, please contact sales@ilobby.com.
Requirements For Using Assisted Sign-In
To use assisted sign on, you must have:
- access to the portal.goilobby.com
- permission to use visitor Sign in/Sign out
- iLobby app version 22.3.1 and newer
