Visitor types
The first thing you'll want to set up is your Visitor Types. These will vary depending on your operations and the variety of people entering your facility. In setting your visitor types, you will want to consider the different check-in flows you will require, as these can be customised to provide a unique flow per visitor type.
It is also useful to consider the user experience and choose names for your visitor types that will be clear to users when they select which type they are checking in as.
At a basic level, we often start with the below visitor types:
Visitor
Contractor
Staff
Delivery
However, you can create as many custom visitor types as you may require for your operations. For each visitor type, you can select a name and colour to be associated with that visitor type.
To edit your visitor types, you will need to navigate to Sites and then select Settings for the relevant site. You can then find Visitor Types within the General section.
Check-in forms
Check-in forms are the easiest way to enhance your compliance processes using Sine. These are completely customisable to present information, ask questions and capture responses and signatures for whatever content your operations require.
Even better, the check-in form can be customised for every different visitor type. This means that while a visitor's check-in may only require host selection and photo capture, the contractor who checks in immediately after can be taken through a more involved induction process—presenting evacuation diagrams, site policies, confirming credentials etc.
Responses to your check-in forms are stored securely but are still simple and easy for your administrators to access and reference when needed.
From safety inductions to non-disclosure agreements, with Sine it's simple to automate compliance and keep your workplace up to date.

Workflows
For many organisations, compliance begins long before someone sets foot on the premises. Workflows empower you to take your compliance processes outside of the check-in process, with the ability to complete inductions and request any required documentation, certifications and licenses before a user is approved to enter the site.
With Workflows, you can set up as many different flows as you require, track document expiry dates and set the frequency with which each flow is to be renewed.
Workflows is available as an upgrade to To learn more about Workflows, you can book a demo with our team:

Pre-arrival induction
One of the most effective ways to keep processes efficient and compliant on-site, is to have all your users complete their compliance procedures before they even arrive!
When you integrate a workflow into your check-in process, you will have three options for when Sine should check for a valid workflow. This can be upon check-in request, check-in success or check-out success—ensuring your people remain compliant all throughout their visit.

Workflows approvals
There are a variety of ways you can manage approvals of your workflows, depending on your operational requirements. Whether you want workflows to be automatically approved on submission, or reviewed by your team and manually approved, you can keep compliance on track with Workflows.
