What's new in VeriScan for iOS?

A quick guide to all the new features and changes to the VeriScan user interface in the version 7.0 update.

Table of Contents


Scan Screen

After signing in, launching the VeriScan app will bring you to this screen.

1. Online Status Indicator

This cloud icon shows a when you're connected to the internet and your scans are syning to the VeriScan Cloud Portal.

If you're not connected, or you're scanning offline, there will be an × in the cloud icon instead.

Tapping this icon will manually switch you between online and offline modes and can be used to force resync your cloud setting.

2. ID Scanning

Tapping these buttons allow you to capture your visitor's data and log them in your VeriScan Cloud history.

  • Tapping Barcode Scan allows you to scan the barcode on the back of the ID or license using your iPhone's Camera.
  • Tapping the Scan Mobile ID button lets you log a visit for a user using a mobile driver's license. (Note: due to Apple's privacy policy, scanning a mobile ID will only verify the information; no PII is collected)
  • Tapping Manual Entry lets you type out the visitor information rather than collect it via a scan. We recommend using this option when your visitor has a form of ID that cannot be scanned.

3. Navigation Bar

Tapping these icons allows you to quickly switch between the scan screen, the history screen, and the settings screens.

 

Scan Details

When you scan an ID, you will see the ID's details in the Scan Details screen. This screen appears automatically after a scan and shows the most important information at a glance.

Main Scan Details

At the top of the ID Details, you'll see a status bar with the overall result of the scan. In the example in the left, you can see the green Passed status.

This ID passed because no issues were found with the ID.

  • A profile picture is displayed in the center. You can capture the picture manually by tapping the profile picture and using the camera to take a new picture. The picture will be remembered in subsequent scans.
  • The age is shown to the left of the profile picture. The background of the age is green if the visitor is above the minimum age, otherwise it's red.
  • The date of birth and expiration date are shown under the name of the visitor. They will turn red respectively if the visitor is under the minimum age or if the ID is expired.
  • The group is shown in a banner with the associated color. Tapping the group banner will allow you to change the group, unless the group is locked.
  • Total scans and last visit are shown beneath the group banner, so you can quickly gauge this visitor's visit frequency and quantity.
  • Scan ID is shown at the very bottom on the left side of the scan details. This number is useful when working with our tech support team, so they can quickly review the scan in the system.

An ID is considered Failed if the ID does not pass one or more of:

  • Barcode Security Check
  • Underage Check
  • Expiration Check
  • DMV Check (available as a paid add-on)
  • IdentiFraud Check (available as a paid add-on)

In the example on the right, you can see the status bar is red.

In the alerts section below, you can see this is because the ID failed the Barcode Security Check. Any other alerts will appear in the alerts section as well, as configured in the VeriScan Cloud Portal.

 

More Info

Tapping the arrow to expand this section shows additional information such as address, phone number, email address, and any applied tags.

Tap the Add Tag button to open the tags menu and apply one or more of your configured tags. Tags are searchable and, unlike groups, you can assign as many tags as you want to a particular visit or visitor.

Tap the Edit button in the Additional Info section to add even more data from your visitor.

If they provide a phone number or email address, you can enter it into this menu to store it for later and tie it to their visitor profile.

Comments can also be entered here, in case you want to track any information about your visitor that's not in one of the pre-named fields.

Custom Fields

Tap the Add button to add information to the custom fields you have configured in the VeriScan portal. Any custom fields created in the portal will appear in a popup on the screen and can be added to the visit.

You can configure any of the following types:

  • Text Field - input any string
  • Number field - input any number
  • Date selector - input any date
  • Single-Select Dropdown - select exactly one item from a list
  • Multi-Select Dropdown  - select one or more items from a list

Any custom field can be marked required, meaning you cannot click the Save button without inputting something into a required field with a red asterisk.

Agreements

Tap the agreements button in the bottom of the scan details to open the agreement screen.

Agreements are configurable in the VeriScan portal and can be pre-populated with data captured by the scan.

In the example on the right, you can see the scan date, name of the signer, address information (if listed), birthday, and driver's license number.

You can add any additional hard coded text to the agreement that your visitor can scroll through, read, and sign.

Tapping the Sign Here button opens a full screen signature capture screen where your visitor can sign with their finger.

The agreement will be saved to the visitor's profile in the VeriScan portal and the signature and body of the agreement cannot be changed once signed.

Any changes to the agreement require scanning the visitor's ID and tapping the Agreement button again so they can reread and resign the agreement.

Gallery

Tap the gallery button in the bottom of the scan details to open the photo gallery screen to manage images.

 

Here, you can attach any number of images to the visit record.

Tap the files button to load an image from the local device's storage or tap on the camera button to use the built-in camera to take a new picture.

Tapping an image allows you to view it full screen.

You can also delete the images from the full screen view.

Tap the close button to exit the gallery once the images are added.

History

Tap the History icon in the navigation bar to open the recent history of scans on your account.

This history menu acts as a quick reference for recent visitor and can be customized in the portal to show scans from just this device or all devices at your location. For more comprehensive filtering, log into the VeriScan Cloud portal to view your history.

Date Selector

The Calendar icon in the top right of the screen opens the date selector menu. You can select the start and end date to filter which history entries are shown in the list.

Search

Use the search bar to search through the history entries for a visitor by name. Note that if a visit happened outside of the selected date range, it will not appear in the list even if you search for it.

History Entries

History entries will appear in the list with key information. If a visitor is scanned via barcode or manual entry, you can see:

  • Visitor Name
  • Profile Picture
  • Group
  • Scan Date (top)
  • Scan Time (right)

If a visitor is scanned via mobile ID, a blank entry will appear with only a timestamp. This is because Apple prohibits the collection of PII when using their mobile ID verification system.

Dark Mode

VeriScan for iOS now has a built-in dark mode tied to your phone's system settings
