Visit cloning for faster visitor registration
Registering the same visitor over and over, publishing content without a clear sense of what's still missing, and managing users without easy visibility into their accounts all slow admins down. This release focuses on cutting that friction, with a faster way to register repeat and recurring visitors, a clearer content creation flow, and a couple of small but useful additions to user management. We're also previewing two upcoming features for visitor groups and event management.
Visit cloning
Registering recurring or similar visits used to mean re-entering the same details every time. Now you can clone an existing visit in one click. A Clone button in the kebab menu on any visitor record opens a new visit modal pre-filled with the original visitor's name, date and time, bypass/stop flow selections, and other visit details. If the original visit was in the past, we automatically update the date to today and align the time to standard business hours, so it's ready to submit without manual changes. You can still adjust anything in the pre-filled form before submitting.
Building watchlist
For Enterprise customers, HqO now supports a building watchlist. Building administrators can manage the watchlist and get notified when a registered visitor matches a watchlist record. Badge creation is halted for that visitor until the match is resolved, so a watchlist member can't be granted access to the property.
Day pass
Also for Enterprise customers, Day Pass is now available. Visitors who forgot or lost their badge can request a day pass at the front desk, and building guards can print one on the spot. Tenants can turn this on for all, some, or none of their employees, and can enable or disable the approval request workflow as needed.
Content creation, simplified
Creating content is now easier to get right. A new tab-based UI guides you through the creation flow with clear visibility into which fields still need attention, so nothing gets missed before you publish. Audiences now sync automatically between content and notifications, removing a manual step from your workflow, and a new preview screen lets you review content before it goes live.
Coming soon
Visitor groups. Landlord administrators will be able to enable or disable visitor groups per building. Tenant and landlord admins will be able to filter and view group visits alongside individual ones, invite a whole group of visitors in a single step, remove individual users from a group visit, and create groups in bulk from users with active invitations. A new reusable search dropdown will make it faster to select group members when inviting a visitor group. Visitor groups are also supported in bulk visit creation.
Event management. An upcoming event builder will let attendees register and pay for events directly in the HqO app, with funds deposited to an account of your choice. Advanced reporting will show attendee emails, companies, and registration status for more targeted communication, and push and email notifications will confirm RSVPs and cancellations and remind attendees a day before the event.
Smaller improvements
- Admin: Administrators can now deactivate users directly from the admin dashboard.
- Admin: User administrators can view user email addresses on the User Configuration Page, making it easier to identify and manage users.
