Schools can choose to collect phone numbers for visitors entering the campus by enabling the "Enable phone number entry" field from the Kiosk settings. (See screenshot below). Once enabled, the phone number becomes a mandatory field for visitors as they check in via the iPad or the front desk staff.
Having the phone number for the guest during check-in allows the school to contact them in case of an emergency or security situation on campus. This helps ensure that everyone on campus - including guests - are safe and receive all necessary assistance. Once
The phone numbers are not added to any of the watchlists or lists that receive alerts from Visitor. As such, guests will not receive any sex offender alerts or Watch List alerts while on campus. The front desk staff or other school admins can look up guest phone numbers from the guest records and contact them if required.
