Design a Visitor Badge in Guest

Customize the information and visual cues featured on visitor badges

Visitor badges are important indicators that can help organizations account for visitors. With a range of customization options, organizations can use visitor badges to clearly present valuable information.

Badges may include the following information:

  • Guest Name

  • Host Name

  • Badge Photo: the photo a visitor captures at sign-in

  • Guest’s Response: the response a visitor provides to a selected question

Badge design rules

Badge design rules allow guest responses to multiple-choice questions to influence badge design. Multiple-choice questions can be associated with the following parameters:

  • Orientation

  • Border Style

  • Border Color

Multiple choice questions that are Guest Type steps and those part of a Questionnaire may be used for badge design rules. A parameter condition will be set for each multiple-choice-question response.

A default option with any badge design rule covers the parameter configuration whenever the associated multiple-choice question is unanswered or an "Other" field is selected.

A badge’s orientation, border color, and border style may be customized for any Guest Type. A color printer or a Brother printer loaded with two-tone paper must be in the Guest site to customize border color.

A border style must be set before the border color can be configured.

By default, the badge will use the organization-level text, colors, and logo unless site-specific colors and logos have been set. To set text colors and a logo used for a specific site’s badge:

1

In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Guest .

2

On the left navigation, click Guest Settings .

Under Sites > Details, navigate to Badge Print Settings.
