As a Host, your site administrator will add you to the Host List in Sine Pro. When they do this, an Email should be sent to your Inbox asking you to sign up for a Sine Pro account. Alternatively, if you do not receive a Host Invite, you can create a Free User Account, matching your details to any sites you are already listed as a Host.

Claiming your Host Account


Click Claim your Sine Account. You’ll be directed to the Sign Up page for a free Host Account.


Add your details where applicable and click Sign Up. You’ll be directed to your Dashboard, where you will be prompted to tour the system.

Invitations

See Inviting Guests via the web dashboard for more information.

Activity Feed

The Activity Feed shows guests who are currently checked into the Site and guests who have been checked out (you need to be a Host to access this information). As a Host, you may check in guests who are here to see you, check them out, send messages to guests and add notes to their Passes.

Sending Messages

As a Host, it’s possible to send messages to your guests. Only guests with Email or Mobile Numbers can be messaged. To send a message to a guest:

  1. On the right-hand side of the Pass entry on the Activity Feed, select Send Message.


2. The Send Message overlay appears. You may send a message up to 120 characters long, which will be sent as an SMS or Email. Select the message type (Message, Warning, Emergency) and click Send Message.

Adding Notes

To add Notes to a guest’s Pass, select their Pass. You’ll be presented with the Pass overlay and a small boxed area to add notes. Add the notes and click Save. Host Notes are only visible to the Host and Admins of the Site, not the visitor.


Please take a look at Adding Notes for more details.
