Welcome to Hamilton Visitor

Hi there, we are glad to have you onboard!

Welcome to your visit dashboard, from here you will be able to see all your visits of the day.



But it's quite empty right now, right? Let's fix that by welcoming our first visitor!

Create your first visit

From the visit dashboard, click on the New visit button at the top-right of the screen. You will be redirected to the Plan a visit page.



Isn't that amazing? Now let's add a visitor to the visit. But wait... we don't have a visitor yet!

Add your first visitor

You can create new visitors without leaving the Plan a visit page. To do so, click on the field under Search a visitor and start typing your visitor name.



You can see that we don't have this visitor in our registry. To add a new visitor, press the Add Visitor button.

You will be displayed with an Add Visitor form. Start by filling in his first name, last name and email.



One other thing that we are missing right now is a Company for our visitor, so let's add one!



Once you have entered the name of the company you wish to add, you can create it by simply pressing the Add company "..." button.

Then press the Add Visitor button to create your visitor.



Your new visitor is then automatically added to your visit!

Pro-tip: Your visitor is someone special? Toggle that VIP flag next to his name to let your receptionist know!

Give more details to your visit

OK, now that we have our visitor, let's add a bit more details to our visit.



You can see that by default our visit is pre-filled with the following information:
Host: You
Start Date: current date
Start: current time
End: current time + 2 hours
Site: your active site (Headquarters is your default site when you create your trial)

Let's keep the start date to today to make things a bit easier for now!

Now let's select a visit type before we create our visit. You can choose between "Business" and "Personal".



Now we should be all set. To create your visit, press the Create Visit button at the bottom of the page.



Congratulation! You have created your first visit and visitor! You should be automatically redirected to the Visit dashboard.



Now let's take a look at how to transition a visit between states. Don't worry it's easier than it sounds!

Start your visit

Now that you have a visitor that is expected, he will probably arrive sooner or later. Let's say he is here and check him in!

To do so, click on that blue button at the left of the screen, just next to your visitor name.



You can see now that magnificent Check-in button. If you press on it, your visitor will be automatically Checked-in!



Now let's say that it's time for our visitor to leave, as he goes through the exit door, you can press that same button again that should now display Check-out.



That's it! Never to be seen again, at least until his next visit!

And by the way, next time you won't need to enter his details again, he has been automatically added to your visitor registry!

Last but not least, you can access a visit details simply by pressing its table row.



That's it for today!
