In order to ensure that visitors and volunteers entering your facilities have clearly indicated destinations within all locations, individual destinations must be associated with locations for visitors to select from when checking in.
Destinations should correspond with areas of your school, for example:
- Cafeteria
- Nurses office
- Gymnasium
- Individual classrooms
- Etc...
Creating Destinations
To get started creating and managing your destinations, first make sure that you are viewing the location that the destinations correspond with by selecting the appropriate location from the top-right navigation menu next to your name.
Both imported, and manually entered destinations are associated only with the location that is currently being viewed in the case of multiple locations, or if you do not have multiple locations they are associated with the single location within the system.
To manually create locations:
- Navigate to the System Settings > Manage Locations > All Destinations page and click on the plus symbol "+", or directly to the new destinations page by going to System Settings > Manage Locations > New Destination
- Enter the destination label/name; this is what visitors see and may search for in both the admin portal and the kiosk application
- Enter any internal notes associated with the destination
- Keep "Active" set to "Yes". Destinations may be made inaccessible to visitor selection by changing the active setting to "No"
- Hit the "Save" button
Pro tip: If you have a large number of destinations, it may not be ideal for you to enter them one at a time manually and they may be imported all at once. For more information on importing resources see our support article here.
Managing Destinations
To manage any of the available destinations, simply navigate to the "All Destinations" page (https://app.visitor-aware.com/destinations), and click the edit or delete icons shown to the right of each destination!
