Permutation between Check-in and Entry at site and tenant level

An Access Control integrated site is marked with the Access Control button on the blue banner (top right)

In order to continue and modify the workflow, you need to be an administrator 

The permutations are four to describe the situations between the check-in and the entry of a visitor:

- Scenario 1:   A planned visitor is equipped with a QR code invite and asked to check in first, before their QR code becomes valid for access through the barrier/main-entry-door/speed-gate or lift reader. This is a site/building setup for all tenants for their respective visitors

- Scenario 2:    A planned visitor is equipped with a QR code invite and is allowed to go directly to the barrier/main-entry-door/speed-gate or lift reader, i.e. their QR code is valid without the need to check in. This is a site/building setup for all tenants for their respective visitors

- Scenario 3:   A planned visitor is equipped with a QR code invite and asked to check in first, before their QR code becomes valid for access through the barrier/main-entry-door/speed-gate or lift reader. This is a site/building setup where one or more  of the tenants prefer for their visitors to go straight through the barrier/main-entry-door/speed-gate or lift reader instead. It means their QR code is valid for entry without the need to check in first, therefore overriding the default site setup. 

- Scenario 4:   A planned visitor is equipped with a QR code invite and is allowed to go directly to barrier/main-entry-door/speed-gate or lift reader, i.e. their QR code is valid without the need to check in. This is a site/building setup where one or more  of the tenants prefer their visitors to check in first, therefore overriding the default site setup.
