Authorisation Templates
The Authorisation Templates page allows you to add and maintain authorisations that can be assigned to individuals or organisations requiring authorisation to be onsite. Examples of authorisations include site inductions, flu vaccination or permits. PDF documents can be uploaded and associated with Authorisations. It is also possible to have questionnaires added and included as part of an Authorisation requirement.
There are two types of Authorisations. Organisation Authorisations, which are authorisations for an organisation (or company) as a whole, and Individual Authorisations, which are for an individual person (or contractor) who requires authorisation to be onsite.
You can maintain Authorisations for both organisations and individuals.
When
an individual signs in, VisitorRego will check the authorisation access requirements for the individual
and organisation. If authorisations are assigned to the individual or their organisation and if either level is not compliant, the individual will be
denied access.

Questionnaires can be setup to require a 100% pass mark before the individual can submit the form. That way, once they have submitted the form, the individual has then met the requirements and can be automatically certified. Contact VisitorRego support to setup a questionnaire for a small setup cost.
For information on how individuals can be automatically certified using questionnaires, please refer to the Auto-certify Individuals using Questionnaires knowledge base article found here.
Workflows can consist of one or more Authorisations as a package
