Schedule a group visit to register several visitors at once, for a single date or multiple dates, and choose whether each person is a visitor or a vendor. Each visitor has an individual record created for each date, with their own credential.

Create a Group Visit

  1. Navigate to Visitor Management and open any day-to-day management page.
  2. Click + Add a Visitor.
  3. Fill out the Host Details, Visitor Details, Visit Details, Other Details, and Notification Settings sections described below.
  4. Click Complete Visitor Registration.

Host Details

  • Tenant: Choose the tenant (if you have access to more than one tenant).
  • Floor: Choose the host's floor.
    • Note: The destination floor dropdown only appears if the property team has turned on floor selection in Visitor Setup and your company occupies more than one floor at the property.
    • If the setting is not turned on in Visitor Setup, the floor option will not appear.
    • If the tenant only has one floor, the visit will default to the correct floor.
  • Host: Choose the host from the dropdown menu.

Visitor Details

  • Enter the visitor's first name, last name, and email.
    • Note: Visitor email is required at some buildings and not others. If your building requires a visitor email, you must fill out that field.
  • Select Visitor or Vendor from the dropdown menu.
  • To add more visitors, click + Add Visitor and enter each visitor's details. There is no limit to the number of visitors you can register this way.
  • To add many visitors at once, use the Paste a List tab. Paste one visitor per line, then click Parse List. Supported formats are listed in the Visitor Registration: Property Teams and Visitor Registration: Tenant Admins articles.

Visit Details

  • Single Visit: Select a single date and estimated arrival time.

  • Multiple Dates: Click + Add Another Date for each additional date and time. You can add up to ten visits at one time.

  • Recurring Dates: Choose a visit interval (every day, exclude weekends, or custom days of the week), then set the start date, end date, and estimated arrival time.
  • Access Window (if enabled at your site and the site has an access control integration): The access window determines when the visitor's pass is valid.
    • Default: Displays the site's configured default access window.
    • Custom Hours: Override the default by setting a custom start and end time for this visit. If the host does not select custom hours, the site default applies.
  • Parking Validation (if applicable): Check Create Parking Validation? if parking validation is needed for this visit.

Other Details

All of these fields are optional.

  • Note to Visitor from Host: Included in the visitor email.
  • Notes for Building: Internal only, not shown to the visitor.
  • Reason for Visit: Included in the visitor email.
  • Organization Name

Notification Settings

  • Check Send Registration Confirmation Email to send a confirmation to yourself as the registering user.
  • Under Additional Emails, add any email addresses that should receive visitor notifications. Separate each with a comma. Select which notification types they should receive: Registration/Confirmation, Check-In, and/or Updates/Cancellations.

Visitor Notifications

When a visitor's email address is provided, they will receive a registration confirmation email and, unless disabled in Visitor Setup, a day-of reminder email. The day-of email includes arrival directions. Set the arrival instructions under Visitor Management > Visitor Setup > Arrival Settings > Default Arrival Instructions.


Editing Visits

Once a visitor or group of visitors is added, each visit can be edited individually from the visitor table. Click the pencil icon to edit an individual visitor registration.
