The
Reception Bell button graphic is the image that appears on the welcome
screen as the button itself that users tap to notify staff. It can
include text such as “Reception Bell,” “Couriers Press Here,” or any
other label suitable for your site. The button graphic can also be
customised to match your branding. Contact VisitorRego Support if you would like us to create or update a custom graphic for your system.
6. Close the System Setup window to save the changes.
Once
the Reception Bell is enabled and the button graphic has been selected,
the next step is to define the area on the screen that users can tap by
positioning and resizing the touchable button area.
