A step-by-step guide on how to use our Property Rules feature.
Here at OnSide, we're always looking for new ways to improve our app and make it evermore useful and essential. We've listened to customer feedback regarding urgent sign-in notifications needed, and created the Property Rules feature.
So, what can you do with it?
- Set a notification to appear when a visitor checks-in to your property;
- Provide information to your visitors essential for their visit, such as; where to park, which route to take, direction of traffic, rules of entering the property, etc;
- Alert visitors to biosecurity incursions;
- Alert visitors to urgent risks or hazards, such as; a bridge has collapsed, a cattle stop has caved in, a tree has fallen over the road, etc.
