How it works
If your organization requires proof of vaccination to enter your location, you can store this information using a visitor pre-registration questionnaire.
Ask your visitors to take a screenshot or photo of their vaccine documentation, then either upload a copy in their visitor profile or email a copy to their host, who can upload it in their saved visitor profile in OnLocation. If uploaded by an employee, the file will remain in the saved visitor profile for future events the host invites them to.
You can also set up a trigger to send an email canceling the meeting if a pre-registered visitor confirms that they are unvaccinated.
This article covers how to:
- Record proof of vaccination for a one-time visitor
- Record proof of vaccination for a saved visitor
- Set up a trigger to cancel a meeting if a pre-registered visitor is unvaccinated
Record a visitor's proof of vaccination
To store a visitor's vaccine record, set up a visitor pre-registration questionnaire:
- Choose the questionnaire invitation settings for your location.
- Add and activate a custom questionnaire. Make sure it has a document upload question so visitors can upload their vaccine passport or certificate.
One-time visitor
Once an employee pre-registers a visitor and they receive the questionnaire, the visitor can upload a copy of their vaccine certificate in their visitor profile.
The document will be available to view by clicking on the visitor's name in Sign In/Out Manager. It is accessible until the visitor signs out.
Employees with the Reports Manager user role can also view the document in the Custom Questionnaire reports. It will be retained for the time period that was selected in the questionnaire settings.
Saved visitor
To save a vaccine record in a saved visitor's profile, an employee must upload the document. This record will be visible only to the employee until the visitor is pre-registered for an event, then it will show in Sign In/Out Manager.
To upload a file:
- Go to My Visitors > Saved Visitors.
- Find the visitor, then click Edit next to their name.
- Select the custom questionnaire tab.
- Click Upload a file to add the document. If this has been set up as a conditional question, you may need to answer another question to access the document upload question.
- Click Save.
Once the saved visitor is pre-registered for an event, the document will be available to view in Sign In/Out Manager.
Set up a trigger to cancel a meeting if a pre-registered visitor is unvaccinated
