Additional Fields for Visitors

This section describes how to create additional fields for Visitors (Check-In).

Note:

Admin users can add up to 20 text fields (including dropdown and text fields) and 5 date fields.
The field name length is restricted to a maximum of 500 characters.

Add Additional Fields

Select the Admin application from the App Launcher and click on the Additional Fields tab.
Adding a New Field
1. Click the ADD button to open the page for creating new additional fields.
2. Enter a name for the new field (maximum character limit: 500).
3. The Applies To field lets you choose the object for which this field applies. Select Visitors.
4. Select the Field Type from the dropdown menu. Choose from Date Selector, Drop Down, or Text Field.
  1. Date Selector: No further action is needed. A date type field will be created.
  2. Drop Down: You will need to provide a list of dropdown options separated by semicolons (;).
  3. Text Field: Select a field validation type to add validation to the text field. Leaving this blank creates a text field with no validation.

Once the additional fields are added, the next step is to enable the Additional Information flag during the check-in process.

Navigate to the Settings application > Visitor Manager tab > Check-In sub-tab.
Check the Additional Information option as required. Once this is checked, a VMO can gather additional information from visitors during the check-in process.

Additional fields created for Visitors are available in the check-in screen.
