Types of custom sign in/out questions

Learn about the different types of questions you can use in a custom questionnaire. You need the Administrator user role to add a location-level custom questionnaire. 

A custom questionnaire is made up of a group of questions that are created by your organization. They can be activated to show during sign in or out on kiosks, in Sign In/Out Manager, on OnLocation Mobile, and during visitor pre-registration.

The answers to most custom questions can be found in the people presence and custom questionnaire reports. Any answers recorded for certification details questions are only available in the certifications report

There are ten question types that you can use in custom questionnaires:

Text

Waiver

Enter or copy and paste text your waiver text. The person answers the question by confirming that they have read the agreement and accept the terms. 

Waivers can be set to require a signature, if signing in via a kiosk or OnLocation Mobile, using their finger or stylus to sign on the screen. A copy of the waiver can be sent to them, their host, or any other email, as well as being stored in the Custom Questionnaire reports.

You can also set options for the audience to select from, e.g. I acknowledge and accept this agreement. These can be used in combination with or instead of a signature.

If using your front-of-house team to sign people in using Sign In/Out Manager, signature capture is not available. However, if you have signature capture enabled, there is a checkbox for the Sign In/Out Manager to select that the waiver has been acknowledged.

Video

Embed a video hosted on YouTube or Vimeo for the audience to watch. Set options for the audience to select from, e.g. I have watched and understood this video.

You can make the video watching mandatory by setting the Question Pause Time to the length of the video. You will also want to set the Question Timeout to the length of the video to ensure the kiosk doesn’t timeout while watching.

  • 7 days
  • 30 days

  • 365 days (1 year)
  • 730 days (2 years)

For visitors who provide a document during sign in, a document icon will show in Sign In/Out Manager. The file can be reviewed by clicking on the visitor's name.
