Safety check combines two features, block list and Central Record, to help ensure everyone signing in to your site meets the criteria you set. Block list allows you to configure a block list for visitors that are signing in, visitors that have been added to the block list will be rejected. Central Record will cross-reference the compliance within your Central record portal, and reject a sign in if your specified criteria is not met.

Enable Safety check

To use central record or block list, Safety Check needs to be enabled for each group that requires the specific criteria to be met. From the online management portal, go to Manage > Groups > Select group > Sign in options and scroll down to Safety check. There are three options for Safety Check on each group.

Option to enable Safety Check for both Health Certificates and Block list

Don’t check

By default, Safety check is set to Don’t check meaning health certificate and block list criteria are not checked for people signing in to this group.

Reject sign in when entry criteria is not met

This option allows you to reject anyone from signing in who does not meet the health certificate or block list criteria. A message will be displayed on-screen so the person signing in is aware they have not met the criteria for entry to the site. When setting up notifications the event that should be used is Rejected sign in.

Allow sign in when entry criteria is not met

This option allows the person signing in to complete their sign in, no message is presented on screen, the person signing in will not be aware they haven’t met the criteria for entry to the site. When setting up notifications the event that should be used is Block list matched.


Block list

Block list allows you to manage who can sign in at your site, giving you an extra layer of control over site security. You have the option to block the sign in completely and make the visitor aware they’re not able to sign in, or alternatively allow the visitor to sign in but send a notification to relevant team members to make them aware.

Overview of the block list

Once you’ve enabled the Safety check for the group go to Manage and scroll down to Safety Check and select Block list. From there, click Add new and enter the full name of the person you’d like to add to the block list. You can then choose any additional custom fields you’d like to use when verifying a visitor's identity.


Central Record

Once your accounts have been integrated, you can choose to include a person's compliance on Sign In Central Record as part of your safety checks on your Sign In App account. When enabled, this would stop someone from signing in if they had any missing information on their SCR profile.

To enable this, navigate to Manage > Safety Check > Sign In Central Record and toggle on 'Include Sign In Central Record's criteria for entry to be included on the safety check.'

Click ‘Save’ once done.

You can then manage this per Group as well. From your Sign In App account head to Manage > Groups > Select Staff group > Sign in options to confirm your safety check settings for the selected group as below:

Click ‘Save’ once done.

You can also manage which rating systems you would like the Sign In App to check per group. From your Sign In App account head to Manage > Groups > Select Staff group > Integrations and from the second dropdown you can select one of the following:

1. Check All rating systems - When selected, this option will check all rating systems on Sign In Central Record for the selected group:

2. Do not check rating systems - When selected, this option will not check any rating systems on Sign In Central Record for the selected group:

3. Select rating systems to check - This will give you the option to select just one rating system if required:

Click ‘Save’ once done.
