How to add staff to your Access Control System:

Adding and removing staff members is totally in your control with Gatewise!

Simply use the Staff Users Tab on your side menu and then hit the blue Invite Staff Member Button.

Select which type of access you want to add:

24/7 Access will give the Staff access to the gate app on their phone and requires you to enter their name and cell phone number.

Restricted & Full portal access gives the staff access to sign into the portal. You just need to enter their name and email.

Staff who need access to the app and the portal should be added twice to the system. Once with 24/7 Access and One with Restricted or Full Portal Access.

To remove them, click on the three dots to the right of their listing and choose Archive.

How to use the Flagged Users feature:

Have you been wondering what the flagged user’s feature is for? It will become your best friend once you master it!

With Flagged users, you will find a list of residents who are sharing their access with unauthorized users.

The best practice is to have a conversation with the Resident who is sharing access with unauthorized users (non-residents) to find out why they are sharing it.

Sometimes it’s something simple like they are sharing it with a child, sometimes, it’s a good indicator of an unauthorized occupant. After your conversation, hit the three dots to the right and reset the flag. Check back in a few weeks to see if they are back on the list.

How to know how many residents are using the Gatewise App:

Do you wonder how many of your Residents are using the Gatewise app?

From your users tab you can see the total number of Residents in your system. Change the “Any” Status from the drop down menu to “Pending,” and you will see a new number of users at the top that indicates residents who have not yet signed into the app.

Residents marked as “Member” in their status have signed into the app. This is an excellent gauge to see how successful the app usage is and when to shut down your old methods of entry.
