What is the Document Repository?

The Document Repository is a powerful way in the Visitor Management module that allows administrators to centrally create, manage, and assign documents used during the visitor check-in process.

Instead of creating the same document multiple times across different Visitor Types, you can:

  • Create a document once

  • Format it as required

  • Assign or unassign it to multiple Visitor Types in one go

Any future updates—such as formatting changes or removals—are automatically reflected across all assigned Visitor Types.

Access Rights

Only administrators with Visitor Management – Configuration Full Access permissions can:

  • Access the Document Repository

  • Create, edit, assign, or delete documents

Create a New Document

To create a document:

  1. Click “+ Add”

  2. Enter a Document Name and Description

  3. Format the document content using the editor

Document Configuration Options

While creating or editing a document, administrators can configure the following:

  • Enable Signing

  • Returning Visitor Rules

    • Define whether returning visitors must re-sign the document

    • If optional, specify the number of days for which signing can be skipped

    • Returning visitors are identified using their email address

Document Formatting & Editor Capabilities

The Document Editor supports rich customization, including:

  • Rich Text Formatting

  • Page Headers

  • Page Breaks

Dynamic Variables

You can insert dynamic, real-time data using variables, such as:

  • Visitor Name

  • Host Name

  • Date

  • Other check-in details

Variables can be reused multiple times within the same document.

Multiple Signatures

  • Add more than one signature field per document if required

  • Signature fields can be placed anywhere in the document

To insert variables, signatures, or page breaks:

  1. Place the cursor at the desired location

  2. Click the required option

  3. The element will be inserted at the cursor position

Preview Your Document

Before saving, administrators can review how the document will appear:

  • iPad View – to preview how visitors see it during check-in

  • PDF View – to preview the final signed document

This helps validate formatting and layout before publishing.

Once satisfied, click Save.

Administrator can add up to 25 documents in the Document Repository.

Edit, Rename, or Delete Documents

Documents can be edited, renamed, or deleted at any time.


If a document is already assigned to one or more Visitor Types:

  • Any edits will automatically update the check-in flow for all assigned Visitor Types

  • A confirmation prompt will appear before applying the change

Administrators should proceed carefully when modifying shared documents.

Assign or Unassign Documents to Visitor Types

The Document Repository allows bulk assignment, eliminating the need to configure documents individually for each Visitor Type.

Assign Documents

  1. Navigate to Document → Actions → Assign / Unassign

  2. Select Visitor Types from the Unassigned list

  3. Click Save

The selected document will be added to the check-in flow of all chosen Visitor Types.

Each Visitor Type can have up to 10 documents in its check-in flow

Unassign Documents

  1. Open Assign / Unassign

  2. Uncheck Visitor Types from the Assigned list

  3. Click Save

The document will be removed from those Visitor Types.

Behavior for Existing Documents (Post-Release)

For customers who already had documents configured per Visitor Type:

  • Identical documents are automatically consolidated into a single document in the Document Repository

  • The system assigns the consolidated document to all relevant Visitor Types

  • If documents differ, they appear as separate entries using the format:
    Document Name _ <Visitor Type Name>
