Visitor types are a way to segment your visitors and ask only information relevant for that visitor.
Typical visitor types are: Meeting, Job interview, Supplier, Friend/Family. For example: if you are 'Friend/Family' it is probably not be needed to fill in a 'Company name'.
Visitor types always exist within a visitor registration configuration, if you need more information about the general configuration, please proceed to the visitor registration configuration article.
Manage visitor types
Log in to the GoBright portal with your manager account, and choose Settings > Visit > Configurations > Open your configuration > Types.
Now choose a Type to configure or add a new visitor Type with the + Add button on the left navigation bar.
If you use multiple languages in your visitor registration configuration, you might need to translate some terms. Most of the translation is already done, but the texts you specify yourself (like the name, custom titles, etc.) needs to be translated manually.
Use the 'Translate' button at the top, and a popup will show you which translations are needed.
You can give a name to your visitor Type, which will be visible on your Visitor Display.
You can enable or disable a visitor Type to temporarily hide it from the Visitor Display.
This check-box decides whether the visitor type can be used for pre-registration by the host when an appointment is made. It lets the host invite attendees and at the same time send out an email with QR code that can be used at the digital reception.
If you enable the pre registration you will get the option to enable a mail for this visitor Type. When you select the 'Mail enabled' check-box, you will get the option to select your mail template. If you are not able to select a mail template, please check if you have configured a mail template on the left navigation bar.
If mail is enabled an email template will be used for each visitor that is invited as a pre-registration attendee. These emails will be sent at fixed intervals to all attendees which can be configured here as well.
Lastly you can fill in a value to send a mail ... before the visit date. There are three fields you can add value: days, hours or minutes.
The email will always be sent on the fixed time before the visit date which is configured here. If the visit date is the same day as the day the pre-registration has been made the email will be sent at the same time.
Here you can define which fields needs to be filled by the visitor on the Visitor Kiosk. If you want to add more fields, you can add them in your General configurations.
- Use 'enabled' to use the field for this visitor type
- Use 'show' to show this field for this visitor type that needs to be filled by the visitor
- Use 'required' if you want this value to be filled in by the visitor at the Visit Kiosk
When you've enabled the Pre registration you can configure which fields you want to show on the Visitor Kiosk, or which fields are required to check-in as visitor.
