Adding and Renaming Registration Fields

Adding and Renaming Registration Fields

Registration fields can be found in VisitorRego's Admin mode that can be used to register visitors. The ability to register visitors through Admin mode can be useful for receptionists or administrators who have the software installed on their own computer.

As different companies require different sets of information from their visitors, VisitorRego has the ability to change the registration fields that are displayed.
By default, there is one tab showing that includes the Company, Phone and Car Registration fields. Additional tabs can be created to include other fields.



The fields can be configured on the Admin Fields window.
From Admin mode choose Options> System Setup> Site Defaults tab> Admin Fields button.



When adding a new field, first determine if the new field applies to most visitors or whether it is something that doesn't need to be on the default tab.

To add a field, tick the checkbox in the Visible column for the field that you want to add. You can then set the tab number by clicking on the value in the Tab Number column. The Tab Label can be changed to reflect the field types you are wanting to add. It is also possible to change the Field Label, Tab Order and Tips that appear in the status bar on the bottom of the window.

As a scenario, a company may want to record the status of a visitor's safety induction:
  • The field doesn't apply to each visitor, so it doesn't need to appear on the default tab. The tab number is set to 3 and is labeled 'Health & Safety'.
  • The database field 'SafetyInduction' best describes the data
  • The field is labeled 'Date of Safety Induction' to better describe it as it appears on the Admin mode window.
  • The box is checked so that the field is visible.


 

The changes made to this screen are saved automatically when you close the Registration Setup window.
The Health & Safety tab is now showing on the Admin Mode window.




After clicking on the Heath & Safety tab, we can see the Date of Safety Induction field.
