Using the Dashboard

The Dashboard is the first page shown in the admin portal, which is used to monitor, manage, configure and customize your iLobby implementation.

Note: The screens and features you see in the Dashboard depend on the system's configuration and your access rights.
To access the portal, browse to portal.goilobby.com. You are prompted to log in.



After you have successfully logged in, you see the Dashboard.


The Dashboard shows the latest visitor activity in your account, as well as statistics of all visitor activity for the last 30 days and the busiest hosts for the last 90 days.

Registering visitors

On the Dashboard, you can register a visitor manually by clicking the green Register Visitor button in the top right corner of the Dashboard. This gives you the option to sign in a visitor, or to invite a visitor to a meeting.

Sign in Visitor

Select this option if you would like to manually sign in a visitor on the Dashboard without using a kiosk. This will open the following form:


1. In case your environment has multiple sites, select the site.
2. Visitor Type, Host, and Full name are in the form by default and are mandatory to be filled in.
3. When signing in visitors on the dashboard, you can select whether or not you’d like a host to be notified about this visit. Check Notify Host to send an email notification about this visit. If this option is unchecked, no email notifiation will be sent out. 
4. Other fields are custom ones. Please refer to this article to the Configuring Personalization article on how to add custom data fields to your account. 
Note: If you sign in a visitor like that, there will be no photo taken or legal documents signed for the visitor record in the log.
