How to create Guest Badges for your employees and frequent visitors

Guest Badges are personal unique QR codes for employees or frequent visitors of your premise. To enable employees to check-in with guest badges, businesses will need to set up a GuestTrack on an iPad/tablet to be used as a welcome kiosk.

Setup Steps

Step 1: Add your people

Open the Guest Badges tab in the dashboard.

  • One person: click Add guest, fill in their name and mobile number (plus email, job title and a remark if you like), then click Add guest in the panel on the right.
  • Many people: click Import guests and download the CSV template. Fill it in with Excel or Google Sheets (Name, Mobile, Email, Job title, Remark), then upload it, or copy the rows and paste them in. A header row is skipped.

Import guests from a spreadsheet

Before anything is saved, you see every pasted row in a preview. Rows that need fixing, such as a missing mobile or a mobile another guest already has, are marked in red. You can fix them right in the table. Mobile numbers need international format, for example +61412345678; Australian numbers starting with 04 are converted for you. Click Add guests to save the rows that are ready.

Step 2: Edit a guest and download their QR code

Click anyone in the list to open their details on the right. You can change their details there and click Save changes. The panel also shows the person's badge QR code, their recent check-ins, and buttons to check them in, pre-register them, or print their badge.
