Get your visitors and contractors checking in
Hosting a party and having no one turn up is no fun (queue flashback). The same can be said for setting up Onside and not having any visitors.
Letting your visitors and contractors know you're using Onside is the most important step when setting up your property. We've also made it as easy as possible to check-in and cover every scenario. In addition to inviting, you can also;
- Choose your approved and not approved contractors.
- Send and receive documents to other companies in Onside
(Complete or Enterprise plan required).
Invite a company to use Onside via the web portal from the 'External' tab, found under 'Community'*. You'll also be able to customize the message they receive.
*Currently only new contracting companies you create will receive an email invite.
Can visitors check-in without an invite?
Absolutely. In case a visitor hasn't received an invite before arriving on the property, they've still got the option of downloading the Onside app or use the alternative methods listed below.
Share a quick check-in link
If someone has arrived on your property and they don't have the Onside app yet, share a property check-in link with them right from the app.
When you tap the share button, you can share the link from any messaging app you like including Facebook, txt messaging, Whatsapp, etc.
The recipient can follow the link and check-in right from their web browser, with no app download needed.
If they close the browser or restart their phone, they can come back to the same link and check-in or out whenever they need.
The Onside Kiosk
The Onside Kiosk is a simple yet effective check-in point for your visitors. Typically made available to visitors on a tablet or computer, the visitor only needs to enter their phone number to go through the property induction. There is also the option for a visitor to notify who they're there to see.
Note: You'll need to have a Complete or Enterprise subscription to access your property's Kiosk.

QR Code scanning
For some properties, the Onside Kiosk isn't viable, as there may not be anywhere on your property to have it kept secure. Checking in via QR code is a great solution in this situation.
You can download the QR code from the 'Info' tab of your property in the web portal to print out and put up in the common visitor areas and visitors simply scan and check-in. They don't even need the Onside app to do this.

The user will need a smartphone with QR code reading camera or app and an internet connection.
