# Control Guest Type Visibility

You may want certain Guest Types to be used only for invites, while others can only be used for tablet-based sign-in. Visibility controls allow admins to decide where each Guest Type is available.

***

## Configure Guest Type visibility

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Workplace > Guest.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**On the left navigation, click Guest Settings.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**At the top, select Sites > your site.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Under Guest Types, click Manage Guest Types.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Next to the Guest Type, select** <img src="/files/ljyviTRTNR7v40Rnl6aw" alt="" data-size="line">**.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Toggle the needed visibility controls:**

1. **Tablet Self Sign-in**: Allows visitors to sign in via the Guest app with this Guest Type.
2. **Mobile Sign-in**: Makes this Guest Type available on personal devices. Visitors sign in by scanning a QR code with their mobile device.
3. **Guest Events**: Allows any host to use this Guest Type for event registration through [my.verkada.com](/guest/configuration/guest-events/manage-events-from-the-employee-portal.md), calendar integrations, and calendar shortcuts.
4. **Concierge Sign-in**: Allows a Guest user to start the sign-in process for the Guest Type on Command. Visitors will complete the necessary steps at a Guest tablet. Once all visitor steps are completed on the Guest tablet, a Guest user can review the visitor-entered information and complete any remaining receptionist steps on Command.
