FAQ

Does the Guest app indicate to visitors that they have been denied due to a questionnaire response?

The iPad Guest app will not indicate to visitors that they were denied entry from a response to a questionnaire designed after 10/3/24. Legacy questionnaires designed before 10/3/24 will display a Denied Entry message.

Can visitors edit questionnaire responses after submission?

Visitors cannot modify questionnaire responses after submission.

How do pinned questionnaires work?

Pinned questionnaires will save the responses a visitor provided on a previous visit, and the document will not be completed on a future visit. Consider whether pinning should be used, especially if a questionnaire features a deny entry action.
