Visitor Management: QR Code Check-in
Last updated: October 20, 2026
With the QR code check-in, visitors check in by scanning a QR code on the kiosk with their own smartphone – no queuing at the tablet. This article explains how it works and how admins enable it.
📌 Note: This feature is meant for visitors only (external guests, contractors, interviewees etc.), not for employee desk check-ins.
How it works
The kiosk shows a QR code on the screen.
Visitors scan it with their phone.
They complete the full check-in flow on their own device (visitor type, details, documents, signatures etc.).
1. QR code check-in
In the PULT dashboard, go to Settings → Visitors → Device Management, click the kiosk and switch on QR code check-in. Repeat this for every kiosk that should show a QR code.
Security & timing
Each QR code is valid for 5 minutes and then refreshes automatically. Screenshots or photos of old codes can't be reused.
Once scanned, visitors have 20–25 minutes to complete their check-in – even if the code on the kiosk has refreshed in the meantime.
These limits help make sure that only visitors who are physically at the kiosk can check in.
Why use it?
Faster group check-ins: When many visitors arrive at once (e.g. workshops or trainings), they can all scan the same code and check in on their own phones.
Less waiting at reception: Visitors continue on their phone and keep the kiosk free for others.
