With Night mode enabled, you can choose the start and end time when the device screen will dim when on the Welcome page. Interacting with the device will increase the brightness and it will return to the dim state after a few seconds of inactivity.

To enable night mode, select the toggle from the general settings menu. Two times will appear, the start time should be set to the time you want the screen to dim each day. The end time should be the set to when you want the screen to return to full brightness.

A 4 digit PIN code can be created to protect the settings page when you try and access from the welcome page. The pin would also be required if you try to access the option to reprint a badge.

This will not prevent the settings from displaying when the app is first launched, so we also advise that you prevent anyone closing the app when in welcome mode. How this is achieved depends on the device and systems you are using. This could be via an MDM/EDM solution, Screen pinning or Guided Access. Please see your device manufacturers instructions.

If you have this configured in the portal you can enable the map to be displayed to visitors after the messages section. Please see more about setting up evacuation points here.

Once a visitor or employee has entered their name, this feature will change the display of additional fields or questions. When enabled, all additional fields and questions are contained on a single scrollable screen. If disabled, each question will be displayed on it’s own screen which allows for longer questions.
