The visitors’ book is on Gate and passes: every visitor signed in with their ID, why they came and whom they are seeing, and signed out when they leave, so the school knows who is on site.

  1. Tap Visitor in

    On Today › Gate and passes, tap Visitor in, or press V.

  2. Type who they are

    Type their Name and ID number, and their Phone and Vehicle if you take them.

    Visitor in at Bright Minds Academy: Catherine Mugo, a parent, with her ID number (2), Parent meeting as the purpose (3), Esther Chepkoech under To see, and Sign in (4).Visitor in at Bright Minds Academy: Catherine Mugo, a parent, with her ID number (2), Parent meeting as the purpose (3), Esther Chepkoech under To see, and Sign in (4).
  3. Say why they came

    Under Purpose, such as a delivery or a parent meeting, and To see, the person they came for.

  4. Tap Sign in

    Kila says, for example, Catherine Mugo signed in.

  5. See who is on site

    Open the tab Visitors. Visitors today says how many are on site now, with each visitor’s time in, purpose and whom they came to see.

    Visitors today: the number on site now (5), and Catherine Mugo's visit to see Esther Chepkoech with Sign out (6).Visitors today: the number on site now (5), and Catherine Mugo's visit to see Esther Chepkoech with Sign out (6).
  6. Sign them out

    When they leave, tap Sign out on their row. The time out takes its place, and they no longer count as on site.

The head’s School today and the home page show the visitors on site with the learners out on passes.

Next: at the end of the day, check that Visitors today says no one is still on site.
