Touchless kiosk user experience

This article explains what a visitor, contractor, or employee experiences when using a touchless kiosk or a QR code poster to sign in or out.

A fully touchless kiosk experience displays a QR code and instructions for a user to follow on the kiosk or poster. This removes the need for the user to touch a screen, reducing the transfer of infection and allowing you to maintain a hygienic sign in/out process.

You cannot scan a token or OnPass to sign in using the touchless kiosk, you must scan the QR code displayed on-screen.

How the touchless sign in experience works

  1. Enable touchless sign in – either set your kiosk to touchless mode or add a new kiosk and select scannable poster as the device type.
  2. Scan the code – Visitors, contractors, and employees can use their smartphone camera to scan the QR code.
  3. Answer the questions – The QR code opens a web browser where the guest can enter their details and answer any custom questions.
  4. Signed in – In the case of a visitor, the host will receive an automated arrival notification.

Once signed in, the user sees a webpage where they can sign out. This page is active for 24 hours. The browser can be closed until they are ready to leave, they then re-open the browser and tap Sign Out.

If using photo capture a user may be required to give their browser permission to access the camera.
