Adding an Individual

The most important details to enter would be the individuals First Name, Last Name, Organisation and Email address.
The same email addresses cannot be used for more than one individual. The email address is the unique identifier.

If the individual does not have their own email address, VisitorRego will generate a placeholder email address automatically when saving.
For individuals who don't have their own email address but still need an invitation email sent to complete a questionnaire, a secondary email address can be entered into the Email Contact field. This could be the individuals manager for example.

3. Click on the Save button to add the individual.
After doing the above, proceed to step 1 of the Assigning an Authorisation to an Individual section to assign authorisations.

Adding an Individual who has signed in previously


1. Hover over Register   in the navigation menu on the left.
2. Click on Sign-Ins by Workflow in the Register menu.
3. Click on the name of the individual to bring up their profile window.
4. Click the Authorise button. The authorisation window for the individual will appear allowing you to assign authorisations.
After doing the above, proceed to step 2 of the Assigning an Authorisation to an Individual section to assign authorisations.

Assigning an Authorisation to an Individual


1. Click on the icon in the fit column for the individual you wish to assign an authorisation to. The authorisation window for the individual will appear.
The icon can appear as a white box , a tick , a keep out symbol  or a red x symbol depending on the authorisation status for that individual.

2. Click on the button to assign an authorisation.



3. Select the workflow(s) or authority(s) that are to be assigned to the individual.

Workflows can consist of one or more Authorisations as a package that can be assigned to individuals.
If there are no workflows available to select, then there has not been any added yet.
Authorisations can be created and added to Workflows on the Authorisation Templates page. Refer to the How to add Authorisations to a Workflow article for instructions to add authorisations to workflows.

4. Click on the Save button to assign the workflow(s) or authority(s).

At this point, depending on how the authorisations were set up, the individual will be automatically certified, or require action to manually certify.
If the individual has a red x symbol in the fit column, the authorisation(s) they have assigned will need to be manually certified, or certified automatically after the individual completes a questionnaire (if applicable). If they have a green tick icon in the fit column, they are already certified.
For instructions to manually certify an authorisation, skip to the Certifying an Authorisation section.

Authorisations can be set up to be automatically certified when assigned to an individual. When an authorisation is not setup to be automatically certified, an administrator needs to manually certify the authorisation for an individual. See the Certifying an Authorisation section for instructions to manually certify an authorisation.

If a questionnaire is included as part of an authorisation, the individual will need to complete the questionnaire in order for the authorisation to be certified. The questionnaire can be viewed and completed by the individual through the My Sign-in web app via the onboarding email that is sent.

For instructions and information on the various ways of how authorisations can be set up, please refer to the Authorisation Templates knowledge base article found here.

Sending an invite to an individual so that they can complete an Authorisation questionnaire


If a questionnaire is included as part of an authorisation, the individual will need to complete the questionnaire in order for the authorisation to be certified. The questionnaire and any PDF documents associated with an authorisation can be accessed by the individual through the invitation email that can be sent by following the steps below.

1. Click on the icon in the fit column for the individual you wish to send an invitation to. The authorisation window for the individual will appear.
2. Click on the Send Invite button.



2. Click Yes, send when prompted to send the invitation email.

The invitation email will be sent to the individual if they have a valid email address assigned. If the individual does not have a valid email address but has a valid email address assigned in the Email Contact field, the email will be sent to the email contact.

Within the email, there is a Welcome link which will open a web page. The individual would then select Authorisations to complete the questionnaire.
The individual can also view any PDF documents associated with the authorisations assigned to them and can upload any documents that are required as proof.

Once the individual has opened the questionnaire, they must answer all questions correctly for the submit button to appear. Once submitted, the authorisation will be automatically certified if the authorisation has the Auto Certify Questionnaire option checked. If the Auto Certify Questionnaire option is not checked, the authorisation will need to be manually certified.

To view a submitted questionnaire, click on the icon in the fit column for the individual who completed the questionnaire, then click on the icon in the Response column.
