What's New in SwipedOn

| SwipedOn Updates

We're constantly making small upgrades to the SwipedOn system to keep it best in class for visitor and employee sign in. Here's a quick round-up of all the small but powerful updates we've shipped lately.

June 2023 Updates

SwipedOn Inductions:

Ensure visitors and contractors are fully informed and prepared for their visit with the ability to create bespoke inductions specific to your workplace and compliance requirements.

Our new Inductions AddOn puts you in control. Create custom inductions, tailored to the unique compliance needs of your business.

Include a video, image or document and ask questions to ensure visitors understand your processes, hazards and risks
Inductions can be completed on the spot or sent ahead of time via email
Set expiry dates and record induction status
Easily manage inductions across all locations with a central induction library

Upon completion, records are securely stored for future reference. Visitors who have already completed their induction will skip this part of the sign in flow, and anyone who hasn’t will be required to do so before entering your premises.

May 2023 Updates

Auto sign in and out:

Improve the accuracy of your employee movement data by opting to automatically sign them in and out once they hit a certain perimeter around your building.

The perimeter (AKA "geofence") range is set in the SwipedOn dashboard and when Pocket users enter and exit, they will automatically be signed in and out, meaning your records are always up to date with accurate information 🙌

Sign out verification:

This feature requires employees to (a) be within the geofence range or (b) scan the location's QR code at the time they sign out for the day.

Both these features are available on our Business and Enterprise plans. Head to the employee settings page to get started, or the account page to upgrade.

February 2023 Updates

SwipedOn Integration for Microsoft Teams:
We’re excited to share that you can now integrate SwipedOn with Microsoft Teams (probably one of our most requested features EVER).

With this integration you can:

Post employee sign in and out activity to your chosen channels
Approve pending visitors from within Microsoft Teams
Receive visitor arrival notifications from within Microsoft Teams

SwipedOn Pocket updates:
Not only have we freshened up the Sign Out status screen, after popular demand we've also removed sign out messages from the sign out flow (as long as the setting is not required). You can now set a sign out status by pressing the 'Set my status' button which appears when you are signed out.

We've also removed the sign in/out confirmation screens, making the whole experience feel a lot slicker. Update to v2.9.0 and witness the sickness for yourself.

But wait, there's more, we now also have support for Traditional & Simplified Chinese and Spanish in SwipedOn Pocket.

November 2022 Updates

Dashboard pages live updates:

The Employee Timeline, Directory, Evacuation, and Remembered Visitors pages now support live updates. Movements on these pages will now update on the fly and you won't need to refresh to see them. This means that all of our timeline pages (and the home page) now support live updates.

View/download visitor and employee sign in photos:

This is a re-introduced feature for those that missed it when our new timeline went live. You can now easily download these images, Simply click on the movement and download the image from the bottom of the window that appears on the right-hand side of your screen.

Remote employees are no longer counted in the “in” count.

Remembered Visitor & Preregistration navigation arrows:

We've added quick navigation arrows to the Remembered Visitor and Preregistration pages for fast navigation. You'll see these in the top left-hand corner of the visit details that pop out when you click on an activity in the timeline.

October 2022 Updates

Send email invites to preregistered visitors:

You can now send a calendar invite to visitors when you preregister them. Invitations are created from the Visitor Timeline in the SwipedOn web Dashboard. From here, you can send your guest an email invite for them to add to their calendar, pre-fill any required questions on their behalf, and edit (or cancel) the invitation after it’s been sent. Find out more here.

Employee sign in screen (iPad app):

The employee sign in screen on the iPad app has a smart new UI AND employees can now easily switch from "signed in" to "remote" from the iPad - perfect for a quick update as you walk out the door to work from home for the afternoon.

Static QR code design:

The new QR code file has a border, helper text, and SwipedOn logo. Eventually, customers will be able to use their own logo here, watch this space 👀

Welcome screen updates (iPad app):

The "Employee" button has moved from the top right corner of the welcome screen to a more prominent position along the bottom of the screen with the sign out button. This can now also be customized in the Welcome Screen settings page in the SwipedOn web dashboard.

Timeline pages navigation arrows:

We've introduced quick navigation arrows in the Visitor, Employee, and Home timeline pages for fast navigation through visitor and employee activity. You'll see these in the top left-hand corner of the visit details that pop out when you click on an activity in the timeline.

September 2022 Updates

Display sign out status in Employee Directory:

Pre-set and custom sign out messages are now also shown in the Employee Directory. To view, simply hit the gear icon and select "sign out message" to add it to the table.

Visitor timeline live updates:

New visits are now automatically updated in the Visitor Timeline without the need to manually refresh.

ISO + SOC 2 Certification:

SwipedOn is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified. What does that mean? SwipedOn does more than provide you a workplace sign in system, it gives you peace of mind.
