Identity management
Identity management allows you to create and manage tokens for employees and contractors. Tokens are any barcode, QR code, or RFID card assigned to a person and are used at a kiosk to speed up the sign in/out process. They are only available for employees and contractors.

Important notices
The important notice add-on allows you to share critical notice. They can be used to acknowledge hazards before work commences or to notify of events during the day. We have two types of notices:
- Acknowledgment notices pop up during sign in or out and must be acknowledged by the audience. They are used to notify people of temporary hazards or one-off events like fire drills.
-
Instant messages allow you to send one-off notifications. These notifications have various uses, from informing those on-site of an emergency to reminding employees about company policies. They can be sent to employees, contractors, and visitors.
You can also report on acknowledgment notices to see who responded, when they responded, what they responded with, and any additional information.
Learn more about important notices.
Induction management
Induction management is used to track the induction courses of employees and contractors that must be completed before they can work at your locations. Courses could contain health and safety information for the onsite or job safety, or be a general welcome to the company.
Create online induction courses to send to people or create induction courses that are completed offline and tracked through OnLocation.

Multi-language
The multi-language add-on gives your visitors, contractors, and/or employees the ability to change the language of your kiosk for easy sign-in in their preferred language. Your receptionists or security guards can also change the language used in the Sign In/Out Manager so they can sign in visitors in their preferred language.

OnEvac
OnEvac is the add-on for evacuation management in OnLocation. The OnEvac add-on gives you access to the mobile-optimized web-based app used to manage your evacuations, OnEvac.
Using OnEvac gives you an interactive list of everyone who is currently on-site, which can be used to verify their safety. You can coordinate with multiple people through chat to manage the evacuation, who will all work from the same list, so no one is verified twice.
You can then report on your evacuation in-app and in the desktop application of OnLocation.

OnPass
OnPass is an email sent to pre-registered visitors before their arrival. It can contain details about their visit, your organization, your location, tips about the neighborhood, and a QR code or barcode for fast sign in.
Each OnPass is location-specific so that they can be customized with the details for different locations. OnPasses can be set to send automatically when using the calendar invites integration.

Triggers
The triggers add-on is used for locations to send notifications, deny access on sign in, automatically sign people in and out, or display pop-up messages.
They can be set to activate on sign in, sign out, at a specific time, or after a specific amount of time. You can set rules so that they only fire for specific events. You can perform the above actions, including sending to different people depending on the person signing in or out.
Notifications can be created using placeholders to provide dynamic information depending on the person or the location.
