Get Your Hosted Solutions Tech Update
By Matt MacIntosh, Product Manager Hosted Solutions, AMAG Technology
The newest Symmetry CONNECT Identity Management version enhances the GUEST self-registration kiosk, adds past check-out notifications, and brings CONNECT more in line with Symmetry ACS by adding support for credential expiry times.
Credential Expiry Time:
CONNECT has been updated with a new feature that enables card administrators and technicians to set the exact time when a credential will expire, in addition to the date. The credential expiry time will be set to midnight by default and will be synchronized with the Credential Inactive Time in Symmetry. This enhancement will allow for a credential to be deactivated at a specific time, which can be useful in various situations. For example, a credential can be deactivated at the end of a shift or immediately in the case of a termination.
Past Check-Out Notifications:
Guests now have the ability to flag and send notifications for visits that have exceeded their departure time. This feature, when enabled, highlights any visit that has gone past its checkout time in red on the receptionist page. It also allows notifications to be sent to Security Managers, Building Managers, and Admins. The grace period for the notifications can be configured to show the number of minutes past the departure time. These enhancements provide visibility into who is still in the building after their visit has ended.
Ability to Check-Out via the Self-Registration Kiosk:
Visitors can now bypass the receptionist and use the Self-Registration Kiosk to check out. This new feature will enable visitors to easily locate their visit using standard methods and check out of their visit if they are checked in. By offering this option, the self-registration kiosk will help to alleviate the workload of receptionists in the building’s lobby.
