Enable Visitor Management

Visitors or guest attendees who are not part of your organization can be added to your meetings if you enable this feature. Depending on your licensing, contact your Professional Services representative to add this feature.

The Visitor Management displays if your organization purchased and installed the optional Visitor Management module, which enables front-desk users such as reception to check in visitors, print badges, access lists of visitors, and run reports. The values that you specify on this tab are used when a new visitor checks into your building.
