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.

To have this function enabled for your environment, please contact sales@ilobby.com.
