Set up a Guest Tablet
The Guest tablet allows guests to easily check in by selecting a Guest type.
Download the Guest app
Download the Verkada Guest app on an iPad running iOS 15 or newer.
Once installed, the Guest app displays a 6-character code. Save this code to add the tablet to Verkada Command.
Add your first Guest tablet

Enter the 6-character code from the tablet and click add this iPad.
You will be redirected to the Guest dashboard. On the left navigation, click Guest Settings > Sites > Tablets to view your tablet.

Under Tablet Mode, select either Self Sign-in or Concierge Only.
Self Sign-in Mode: By default, Verkada Guest tablets support visitor self-sign-in. Visitors can use the tablet to sign in through any Guest Type configured for tablet display, and invited visitors can also check in for their event on Self Sign-in tablets.
Concierge Only Mode: Guest tablets can be dedicated primarily for front desk use. Visitors can only begin entering information after a Guest user starts the sign-in from Command. Guest users can sign in visitors only through Guest Types enabled for Concierge Sign-in, and returning visitors can expedite sign-in using the Return Visitor option.

In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Workplace > Guest.
