The Sign In/Out Manager is an area of WhosOnLocation used to sign people in and out of your location. There are settings that are unique to your location that are used through the Sign In/Out Manager which you can configure in your location setup.
To access the Sign In/Out Manager settings:
- Go to Locations, then select the location from the drop-down list.
- Select Sign In/Out Manager.
You can then navigate between the settings through the tabs at the top of the page.
Settings tab
Set the behavior of WhosOnLocation when signing in visitors, employees, or contractors using the Sign In/Out Manager. You can set behavior from skipping all questions for an easy sign in to presenting both a profile summary of the person and all questions. And you can setup whether the Sign In/Out Manager will automatically remember visitors to auto-complete their details on their next visit.
Employee and contractor settings
There are two sign in/out methods that you can customize behavior for:
- Token scan – scanning a person’s token or ID card.
- Manual – clicking the Sign In/Out button next to their name in the list of people in Sign In/Out Manager.
The three behaviors you can set are:
- Quick sign in/out – skips sign in/out questions and summary screen.
- Present basic & custom questions.
- Present status summary – includes sign in/out questions.
Status summary
The status summary is a popup with a summary of the person’s details and status.
Clicking Sign In/Out on the popup will prompt any enabled questions to display. If there are no questions they will just be signed in/out, and a confirmation will appear in the bottom-left corner.
If the person has any default system reason to be denied access, this will show in the popup and you can log their access attempt.
Default system reasons include:
- Permitted on-site dates not valid (Contractor only)
- Induction expired (from the option in the course settings, not triggers)
- Non-active status (Contractor only)
- Location access not permitted.

Returning Visitor Auto-complete
The returning visitor auto-complete sets the length of time a visitor is remembered for when signing in through the Sign In/Out Manager.
If a visitor returns within the set number of days, they will be remembered, and the Sign In/Out Manager will receive a prompt to auto complete their details. These can then be edited or saved by the person signing them in.
The organization question must be enabled in questionnaire manager to use this feature. If an organization is not entered, they cannot be remembered.
If you don’t want to remember visitor information set this to disable.

The Panic Alarm is used by Sign In/Out Managers to send an email and/or text to specified people if they need assistance, are under duress, or have an emergency situation.
