Overview

The Check In and Badge feature allows a Person with the appropriate permissions to Check In and create credentials a Visitor from one simple screen. This article will provide detailed instruction on how to Check In and create Credentials for a Visitor using BluSKY's Visitor Management system.

This is the fastest way to Check In and assign a badge to the Visitor. If you do not need to assign a badge to the Visitor you may use the Check In button. We have provided step-by-step instruction on how to Check In a Visitor from the Visitor Administration page.

Click the icon, labeled "Chk+Badg". This will open the Visitor Request edit screen.
