Kiosk Check-In Form for Ad-Hoc / Walk-In Guests

Last updated: October 21, 2026

Walk-in guests are visitors who arrive without an invitation and check in directly at the kiosk. This article explains how the walk-in check-in works and how admins choose which details the kiosk asks for.

How walk-in check-in works

  • Start: The visitor taps the kiosk screen and selects the option for visitors without an invitation.

  • Enter details: The visitor fills in the walk-in check-in form (see below).

  • Sign documents: If you have set up house rules, NDAs or other agreements in the walk-in flow, the visitor signs them on the kiosk.

  • Host notification: If a host is selected, the host is notified (e.g. by email, Slack or Teams, depending on your settings).

  • Badge (optional): If badge printing is enabled, a visitor badge is printed.

Frequently asked questions

Can walk-in guests sign the house rules?

Yes, if documents are part of your walk-in flow, walk-in guests sign them on the kiosk – just like invited guests.

What if the guest doesn't know the host's name?

The guest can search for the host on the kiosk. If they can't find the right person, they should contact the reception.

Are walk-in visits logged?

Yes. Walk-in check-ins appear in the visitor overview in the dashboard, just like invited visits.

Can I hide the host field?

Yes. Set Host to Hidden (3) – the kiosk then no longer asks walk-in visitors for a host.

Can the kiosk show only the walk-in form?

Yes. Switch on Walk-in only in the kiosk settings (see Kiosk Device Settings).

Can I show a privacy notice during check-in?

Yes. Enter it under Privacy notice in the kiosk settings (see Kiosk Device Settings).
