Create an induction course for visitors

Learn how to use custom questions to deliver induction material to visitors during sign-in or pre-registration.

Using custom questions for inductions

If visitors need to read through a set of health and safety information or watch a video before entering your site, you can use custom questions to deliver your induction material. Using a custom questionnaire, you can include the induction course in your current sign-in or visitor pre-registration workflow.

Deliver your content using the waiver text, image waiver, or video custom question types. You can also require that each guest provides their signature to confirm that they've completed the course and then send a copy to anyone who needs proof of completion.

If you originally created your course in PowerPoint, you can export the presentation in jpeg or png format, then add each slide as an image custom question.

The image below is an example of an induction course, with slides added as image custom questions. The visitor clicks Next to display each slide to display during sign-in:

OnLocation Induction Manager does not support visitor inductions. You can only use custom questions to deliver this material to visitors. You cannot use induction expiry notifications or issue a certificate of learning using custom questions.
