If you are using scanning to sign in /out visitors, service providers, and/or employees and the WolKiosk app for iPad, then you may want to enable the iPad Camera Scan. This gives you the ability to scan WolPasses, Tokens, and Badge Passes at the kiosk using the iPad's built-in camera.
How It Works
Without iPad Camera Scan enabled, a pre-registered visitor, service provider, or employee would approach the kiosk, touch Sign In, choose their person type, enter their name, and continue the sign-in process from there.
With iPad Camera Scan enabled:
1. The person approaches the kiosk
2. They touch Sign In
They are presented with the option to either select their person type or scan their QR Code.
3. They hold their QR Code up to the camera
4. The kiosk registers the code and finds the person in the system
The sign in process will proceed from this step with either signing the person in or presenting them with more information depending on your settings.
We have released initial support for QR Codes on Badge Passes in WhosOnLocation. These are available for some Brother templates and label sizes only. Full support will be coming soon.
Upon sign out, the person can use the same method to sign out by touching Sign Out and scanning their QR Code.
How To Enable
The setting is enabled in the kiosk settings in your WhosOnLocation account.
1. Go to Tools > Locations
2. Click View next to your location
3. Select Sign In/Out Kiosks from the left-hand menu
4. Click View next to your kiosk (for a kiosk that is already set up)
If your Kiosk Device Setting is set to iPad an option for Enable iPad Camera Scan will appear
5. Select Enable iPad Camera Scan
6. Click Save and Close
The feature will be enabled on your WolKiosk immediately after it refreshes. There is no need to enable any settings in the WolKiosk itself.
With this feature enabled, people will still have the option to sign in using your existing methods, this will be an extra option for those applicable people only.
