Whoever has an appointment passes the turnstile
As long as the appointment book sits at the security desk and the gate decision sits in the panel, the two never see each other. This page describes how they meet in one record.
The appointment flow
They write who they want to meet, when, and about what.
A time is proposed, approved or moved to another slot.
The parent gets a notification and the visitor appears in that day's expected list on the security screen.
A record is written when the visitor arrives and when they leave, in the same place as the appointment.
Where the appointment meets the gate
The security screen shows the name, time and host of each person with an appointment that day. For a visitor without one, the decision belongs to the institution; the product records the decision and asks for the reason.
Visitor identity and badge
The visitor receives a temporary badge; it is limited to the duration of that appointment and becomes invalid when the time is up.
Meeting entry by a third party
A person who is not the legal guardian cannot enter to meet a student; if such a request is opened it is rejected with a reason and the record remains.
Watchlist and custody restrictions
A barred visitor or a person restricted by a court decision is marked in the list; at the gate the decision is not open to discussion.
How this data is protectedContractor entry
Contractor staff documents are recorded and an expired document raises a warning at the gate; entry with an expired document does not pass silently.
The text shown at entry
The privacy notice and the institution's rules are shown to the visitor at entry and the acknowledgement is recorded, carrying who saw it and when.
