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

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
We have employees who dont have a work email address and want them to be able to complete elearning induction. Being able to select an alternate email would be really useful in much the same way as members.

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 -
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

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…

Report to See When a Contractor Organization Was Last On Site
Customers would like the ability to report on the most recent onsite activity at the organization level, not just by individual contractor records.
Current Limitation:
The People Presence Report can show the last sign-ins per individual, but there is no automated or direct way to determine the last activity date for a contractor organization as a whole.Why This Matters (Customer Value):
Many organizations manage contractor relationships at the company level rather than individual worker level. The ability to track an organization’s most recent onsite activity would support:Contractor compliance monitoring (e.g., “Which approved vendors are still active?”)

New/better platform for building inductions
I'm really struggling to use the current tool for building inductions. It's difficult to resize images without them disappearing altogether; difficult to move blocks around - sometimes the "drop" highlight comes up, sometimes it doesn't. I've tried on different PCs but the tool behaves in the same way regardless. It's hard to get my induction to look professional with such a finicky tool. I'm surprised there are no other suggestions for a revamped tool in here.
12 votesHi Rebecca,
Thanks for your feedback. We have had a number of requests to improve the induction builder. We'll open this up to votes from the wider community and to gather feedback on potential improvements.

Can we remove the ability of ‘Limited Certification Managers’ to add new certificates (limit user access or create a new user role)?
Hi Team
I have this request for deeper control from Matthew at Cummins. Could you consider the ability to turn on or off the ability for a Limited Certification Manager to add new certificates, as we have customers that use this feature, and giving the ability to turn on or off the option will give total control to the customer.

Ability to Export or Print a List of Triggers Per Location
Description / Problem Statement:
Customers managing a large number of sites often configure multiple triggers per location. At present, there is no way to generate, export, or print a consolidated list of triggers for each site. This makes it difficult for administrators to audit configurations, perform internal reviews, support compliance requirements, or share trigger setups with internal stakeholders who do not have direct access to the OnLocation platform.Current Limitation:
Triggers can only be viewed individually within each site in the UI. There is no reporting, export, or print functionality that provides a site-level or organisation-level overview of all configured…1 vote -
Archive inductions
It would be great to be able to archive inductions, that are no longer active, instead of all inductions always showing. We need to be able to keep old inductions, as evidence, so archiving would be fantastic. Thanks

Additional email addresses within Contractors/LiabilityNotification Recipients Field
It would be so helpful to add additional email addresses to "Send to this non-employee" for 'Notify the following people within our organization when insurance policies are due to expire' e.g. we have the email address of the direct contact at the Contractor company, however we would like to add the Contractors office/admin account to this field also, e.g employee.name@theirbusiness.com and office@theirbusiness.com to both be within this field.
Same thing for the field on the same page, underneath within 'Nominate an internal email address where people must send the updates Insurance Policy Details to'. As our location in Sydney is…

OnEvac - Shelter In Place/Lockdown notification
We use WhosOnLocation and OnEvac at a school.
At present we can't use the OnEvac system to do Shelter In Place/Lockdown notifications to employees or guest on site. But it would be extremely useful if we could.We don't want to give guests or employees instructions to evacuate buildings when they should be finding a safe spot to conceal themselves away until an all clear is given to come out.
2 votesThanks for your suggestion.
We agree that supporting a wider variety of emergency situations is critical.
We have a project in our roadmap to create 'incident management templates' which will allow you to create and trigger pre-configured emergency notifications with a customizable audience.
I will keep you updated on the status of this project.

Turn off "What Organization are you from" at kiosk level not location
In certain industries such as Aged Care / Education many visitors are not customer related and dont need to enter an organisation ie. Parent / Family member visiting a Resident. It would be great to be able to build a kiosk specific to these type of visitors and turn off ogranisation they are from OR customise the wording as we also still need the feature to remember them for next time.
Could be as simple enter your organisation or mobile number?4 votesThanks for your feedback Natalie.

Allow Admins to Set a Custom System-Wide Default Welcome Greeting
Overview
Currently, each location can customise its welcome greeting, but the system default (used when clicking “Use Default” or “Reset to Default”) cannot be changed. It always reverts to the OnLocation-provided message.
We request the ability for organisations to define their own global default greeting that all locations can use.
Problem
Large multi-site organisations must manually update every location whenever the greeting changes.
“Reset to Default” restores the OnLocation system message, not the company’s preferred standard.
Creates inconsistency across sites and extra admin work.
Requested Feature
Add a setting allowing account administrators to:
✔ Set an organisation-wide default Welcome Greeting…

Inductions via QR Code
Currently when a contractor or employee scans the QR code so they can complete their induction, it brings up a list of all inductions, it would be good if this could only bring the associated inductions that are required, as not everyone will know what induction to complete. Thanks

Add “Once per Day” frequency option for Acknowledgment Notices
06748934 : Location > Important Notice
Current Behavior:
Acknowledgment notices can currently be configured with two frequency options:Each time the person signs in/out during the Published Period
Once only during the Published Period
This means users either:
Must acknowledge the notice every time they move between zones (time-consuming), or
Only acknowledge it once, even if the notice remains published for several days.
Customer Feedback:
Users with multiple zones connected to one location find it repetitive to acknowledge the same notice multiple times a day. However, setting it to “Once only during the Published Period” does not meet their compliance…1 voteHi Jenny,

Induction poster contractor sign in
The Induction Kiosk poster with a QR code to complete the induction is great. However, at the moment new contractors who have a pending status cannot log in using the poster. It would be great if contractors with a pending status could sign in using the induction poster, complete the induction and then have the status update to active.
5 votesHi Jasmine,
Thanks for the suggestion.
We will open this up for votes as it would be a significant change to the logic around how Contractors statuses work.
In the mean-time - if you use the 'Deny Access When - expires' setting for your induction courses then Contractors who arrive on site will not be able to sign in until then have completed the induction. That way you can set the status of any contractors who are ready to come on site to 'active' as soon as their profiles are complete and your are ready for them to begin work.
Thanks
