In the case of an emergency, how do I access my Visit Log?

In the case of an emergency, you may want a list of all currently checked-in visitors (and, if you're using an Employee Button, all checked-in Contacts) to ensure everyone has evacuated safely. The Receptionist has a live log of all checked-in visitors. You can access this list from the web portal or the iPad.

Accessing the Evacuation List from the iPad

To Access the Evacuation List from your iPad, start on your app's home screen (this is the page that usually says "tap here to check in!" or something to that effect). Press and hold the top middle of that screen for a few seconds, then select Evacuation List from the list of buttons.

From there, you can view every visitor that is currently checked in. As you confirm the safety of each visitor, you can 'check' them in again. (This does not update your actual visitor log; it is meant as a visual aid during emergency procedures so that you can account for each visitor physically.)

Accessing the Evacuation List from the Web Portal

Your Visit Log is also available from your computer, iPad, or smartphone - anywhere you can log in to your account via your Web Portal. Use the Evacuation List filter to see any currently checked-in visitors (or save this handy link).

Users with the Security, Account Owner, Location Owner, and Receptionist designations can view the Evacuation list on the web portal. All Users can view it via the iPad app itself.

Please note that if visitors forget to check in, they will not be displayed on this list, and visitors who fail to check out will be displayed erroneously.
