Flexibility to send induction links through whatsapp App and push notification
The higher use of the SMS feature is for sending inductions links to contractors, most of the peoples uses social networks instead of email, as the most of them would not review their email, our customers uses SMS to share the inductions links; WhatsApp would be an excellent option to receive inductions links.
2 votesThanks for your suggestion. We are hoping to roll out wider support for push notifications in the future. In the mean-time we will leave this open for votes.

Drop Down for Names
Description:
Request to have a drop-down selection for employees and contractors. Users would start typing their name and see matching options appear. For contractors, the company they work for could be displayed; for employees, job title or home location could help differentiate between similar names.Current behavior is limited due to name visibility restrictions and privacy settings, similar to how visitor or contractor lists work when selecting a host.
Suggested enhancements include:
Reference: Navigate via the kiosk to View the list after entering 1–3 characters.
In Advanced Settings, leverage employee/contractor list privacy controls to allow filtered dropdowns.
Optionally, show a…

Automatic Sign In and Out Options
Hello Team,
We are an educational institution and during term break we don't have our teaching staff onsite unless they are coming for something specific. Is there a way that Automatic sign in and out options can be paused for sometime rather than deleting them. Depending on the staff profile, we have conditions applied to the automatic sign and out and it would be good if we can put a pause to them.
Kind Regards,

watchlist for Contractors to stop contractors signing in as visitors
Currently the only way to build a watchlist is manually, if you have thousands of contractors this is not possible. Can we have one of the following?
1/ OnLocation creates the ability for automatically adding contractors to a watch list once the contractor is created.
2/ OnLocation makes available Watchlists through the API - This would allow customers to build a simple automation to add contractors to the watchlist as they are added as a member.

Create Contractors badge reprinting option
There have been occasions contractors have logged into OnLocation and their badge has not been printed. Reprint would be such a great option rather than logging out and back in
This option would also assist with contractors logging in on the GR Code away from the printer, or replacing damaged badges2 votes -
SOS more functionality for responders
When a SOS alert is activated and lets say we have 3 set responders it would be good to see that someone has responded so the other 2 don't keep trying to reach out and that a responder is then allocated that Alert and can deactivate it.
At the moment you have no record or who responded to the alert at all.
Would also be good to see communication within an app between SOS alert activator and responders - similar to what is available within the OnEvac App6 votesThanks for your feedback.
We will bring this to the development team to investigate how we can improve our SOS feature. We treat an SOS as an emergency where it is preferable to double-handle, but empowering SOS responders to mark the incident as resolved, and improving reporting on SOS events are great suggestions.
Thanks

Contractor Portal 2FA for Third parties
When providing access to the Contractor Portal to third party users, it would be helpful to be able to enable a 2FA for additional security such as sms or email verification code alongside the password.

Multi-Column Sorting in People Presence Report
Current Behavior:
The PPR currently supports sorting by a single field only (e.g., Department or Full Name).
When a user sorts Department A–Z, the Full Name order becomes randomized or is not retained.
This behavior was confirmed as the intended functionality based on the 10/7/2025 release review — no changes were made to sorting logic at that time.
Requested Enhancement:
Add support for multi-level sorting in the People Presence Report.
Example use case:
User first sorts Department A–Z.
Then sorts Full Name A–Z within each department group.
Ideally, the UI would display a sort order indicator (e.g., “Primary sort: Department…

Ability to have a personal email address for employees

Exclude Off-Site Employees from OnEvac Completion Percentage
Description: 06718300
When creating an OnEvac event in the EVAC mobile app and selecting “On-site employees only” for SMS Verification, off-site employees are still included in the completion calculation. This causes reports to display incomplete or misleading percentages, even when all onsite employees and zones are verified.Problem to Solve:
Currently, the only workaround is to manually verify off-site employees to reach 100 percent. For sites with multiple shifts and large employee numbers, this process is time-consuming and impractical during real emergencies. Customers need an automatic way to exclude off-site employees from the completion status so the percentage reflects only…4 votesThanks for your suggestion,
The reason we notify all employees of an evacuation rather than just those marked 'on-site' is because often there is not perfect compliance - an employee may have forgotten to sign-in, or have signed-out but but not yet left the premises. However we agree that counting off site employees towards the total safe/not safe percentage can cause confusion. We will investigate further and open this up for votes.
Thanks

Provide an answer to the question, "Has the mail been delivered today?"
Could be as simple as adding USPS as a visitor? or a daily updated "yes" or "no" in the "On-Site Insights" section? This would save many pointless trips to the mailroom, and lobby staff would probably appreciate not being questioned constantly.

Access OnEvac Reports Directly on Mobile Devices
Summary / Issue:
Currently, OnEvac reports can only be viewed via desktop for users with the Reports Manager role. During an evacuation, managers may not have access to a PC or desktop, making it difficult to quickly verify the safety status of employees, visitors, and contractors on-site. The existing mobile workaround (logging into OnLocation in desktop mode on a phone) is not practical or user-friendly in an emergency.Actual Result:
Reports are only fully accessible on desktop. Mobile access is limited, and viewing detailed information requires a cumbersome desktop-mode login on a phone. Performance may be slow, and only the…1 vote -
Limit visitor host selection to employees onsite at the selected location
Description:
Large organisations often have employees with the same first name or full name, as well as many global roaming employees. Currently, visitors can select hosts who are not physically working at the site they are visiting, which can lead to incorrect host selection and access issues.Although adding job titles or other profile details can help differentiate employees, there are rare scenarios where two employees may share the same name and job title at the same location. In these cases, visitors may still accidentally select the wrong host.
Problem:
Visitors may accidentally select a random employee with a similar…1 vote -
Optional “Getting Started” Video for Induction Kiosk + Editable Completion Message for All Induction Courses
Customers are requesting more control over the induction experience. Two enhancements are proposed:
Making the “Getting Started” tutorial video optional (Induction Kiosk only).
Allowing the completion message to be editable for all induction courses, regardless of whether they are completed on the Kiosk or online.
Current Behaviour
A. Induction Kiosk Only
Before an induction begins, users must go through three mandatory steps:a.1. Check your Profile
b.2. Check your Organization
c.3. Getting Started Video – “Learn how it works”
c.4. The video step cannot be disabled.B. All Induction Completion Flows (Kiosk + Online)
Once a user completes an induction…

Add default certifications to induction invitations
It would be valuable to be able to request default certifications be added directly to inductions. Eg, At a school where all contractors and volunteers require a Working with Children check.
2 votesHi Matthew,
Thanks for your suggestion. We will open this up to votes and are planning a block of work on pre-authorizing contractors later this year.
In the mean-time, did you know you can create a custom questionnaire that allows contractors to upload certification details when they sign in at a kiosk? Here is the helpdesk article: https://helpdesk.whosonlocation.com/hc/en-us/articles/7015216918297-Ask-employees-to-provide-certification-details-during-sign-in

Retroactively Sign In a Visitor
On several occasions, we have visitors/contractors who came onsite but didn't sign-in or forgot to do so, for whatever reason and was let in by staff.
It wasn't good. It will be great if the onLocation system allow us to retroactively sign these people in after they have already here or have left site, if we know their details. This will allow us to at least have records of their present for future reference. Thanks.1 vote -
Enable Silent Printing (Edge Browser)
Currently, OnSite kiosks using Brother label printers on Microsoft Edge require manual confirmation for every print job. This slows down visitor and contractor processing, particularly in high-traffic environments, and creates inefficiencies for staff managing inductions or check-ins.
Introducing a “Silent Printing” feature for Edge, allowing print jobs to be automatically processed without manual intervention. This feature could be configurable per kiosk or globally for a location.
Benefits:
Operational Efficiency: Streamlines check-ins and inductions, reducing time per visitor.
Cost Savings: Less staff time spent monitoring or confirming print jobs if client prefers Edge.
Scalability: Supports high-volume locations with multiple kiosks without…

Triggers Settings
In Triggers, we use this to send text messages to people who are still signed in. At one site, we have multiple zones, one of which is a Hostel that people stay at over night. It would be good to have more configuration options for the Triggers so that we can configure it to only send text messages to those outside of this zone.
