The host is the person who’s inviting the visitor(s). It is a concept that can be used through Peripass for:
To set a host in CC of an E-ticket.
Inform reception which colleague to call to inform that the visitor has arrived.
Set an action to notify the host when his visitor has arrived.
…
In order to be recognized as a host, you will need to create a new user role ‘Host’ in the Peripass tenant.
The information on the host needs to be filled correctly in the user information, with a valid e-mail address and valid phone number (format “+ countrycode”; e.g. +32478123456).
Select your host at the kiosk
You can ask a visitor to provide his/her host on the kiosk. This way, the host can be notified after registration is complete.
While filling in the name, a list of users is shown to help you select the correct person (it shows all users, not only users with the user role 'Host').
A host is never visible on the kiosk when automatic approval is enabled, OR an e-ticket is used. This is because for pre-registered visitors, the host is automatically known. It is not possible to change the host.
Select host on mobile driver portal (public website)
If you choose to require visitors to select a host during registration, they will need to find the correct host from a drop-down list. Please note that when using a mobile driver portal with host selection enabled, this drop-down list may be publicly accessible on the internet.
Notify the host automatically
The host can be notified automatically by the following means:
with an sms on his mobile phone
with an e-mail
with a call to his internal VOIP/SIP number. (VoIP must support calls being initiated from web requests)
When a visitor has multiple profiles, the host from the currently active profile is used. The active profile is the profile of today or the first in the future.
