Add a global custom questionnaire

How it works

Custom questionnaires contain a group of questions that are specific to your organization. They can be used across your kiosks (including QR code posters), OnLocation Mobile, Sign In/Out Manager, and during visitor pre-registration. When you’re activating a global custom questionnaire, choose which locations or location groups the questionnaire applies to.

If you activate a questionnaire for kiosks, the questionnaire will be enabled for all kiosks at the selected locations. If additional kiosks are added in the future, the questionnaire will be enabled automatically.

Before you start

• Add your sign in/out kiosks
• (Optional) Enable OnLocation Mobile for the locations you’d like to activate this questionnaire for
• Add your locations to the relevant location groups
