Virtual Sign-in Link creation:

To manage virtual sign-in links for walk-ins go to Center Visits->Sign-In Stations. On any multistep kiosk center attendance based station you would like to choose, click on the corresponding 'More Actions' button on the right side of the station and select 'Virtual Sign-In Links'.







Now a page with all Sign-in Links associated with this Sign-in Station will show as you can see here:



Main options:

Create a new Virtual Sign-in Link


Next, we are going to set up the Virtual Sign-in options. Please follow all steps using the explanations provided:

  • Section 1- Instructions before signing-in:

The administrator/tutor will set the instructions for the students to see before starting the sign-in process.

  • Section 2- Joining the virtual session:

The administrator/tutor will set the instructions to join the session. If you want to use the URL configured in the Staff User Profile Information then enable the option “User staff member's link when available”, however, if you want to specify a different URL for the online session please put the new URL in the “Session Url” field shown below (and make sure the option “Use Tutor Connect Links when Available” is not enabled). Set an expiration time for the link(this is very important to prevent users from interfering in someone else's sessions using old links).

  • Get Sign-in Link- Please use this option to proceed to the next screen where the link will be shown, please copy and distribute this link as needed:
  • Go Back- Please click this option to rollback to the previous page without saving.













This page shows the link that needs to be distributed to the users or sent via rules.



There are several ways to send links to the final user:
1- Via messages or email:
2-Posting the link in a centralized accessible location such as a website or blog site.



SUMMARY

After following these steps you have created a Virtual Link that can be sent to others, or pasted in an accessible location like a website that can be reached by the users.
