The Guardian app

The Guardian app is a browser-based companion to the Kenai dashboard that lets reception and security staff handle visitor tasks on a phone or tablet, on the move, after a visitor has signed in at the kiosk. From a visitor's record you can verify their ID, check their declared assets in and out, confirm induction status, and link an access card.

Because it runs in the browser (no app-store install), Guardian is most useful where visitor processing is spread across several staff and devices: instead of everything funnelling through the reception desk, security can pick up ID checks, asset handling, and card linking wherever the visitor is, easing congestion at peak times. Guardian uses the same Kenai sign-in, permissions, and audit trail as the dashboard.

What you need

• A handheld Android or iOS device, or a tablet, with a camera.

• The latest Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

• Kenai credentials for the site you're working at.

• For asset and induction tasks, the relevant capability (Assets, Induction) enabled on the site.

The visitor log

The Visitor Log is Guardian's home screen. It lists everyone who has signed in at the site, each with a live status. Search by name or phone, then tap a visitor to open their Visitor Profile.

From the profile you work through the visitor's verification points, each shown as an action tile:

• Capture ID: scan and verify the visitor's identification.

• Assets In and Assets Out: check declared assets in on arrival and out on departure.

• Link Access Card: assign a physical entry card.

As you complete each step, the visitor's status chips update live (for example ID Checked, Induction Complete, Checked In, Access Card). Once every check is confirmed, the visitor is ready to be granted access.
