For some properties you visit, you may need to prove you are capable and allowed to undertake a specific job.
Fortunately, with this new feature, you can add your certifications, licences, vaccine pass, and other key documents to your profile, with the option of making them visible to others.
Check-in Questions has just arrived.
Ask your visitors Yes or No questions about things like exposure events, symptoms, and anything else that’s important to you. Questions are customizable and you will get an instant alert for “unwanted answers”. This was designed to significantly improve biosecurity and COVID-19 management.

Based on user feedback, we’ve made a few changes to Risk Management that we believe will fall more inline with the Health and Safety at Work Act and WorkSafe requirements.
The changes bring better clarity of the risk severity, urgency, and priority by providing suggestions for what should be done at each level.
If you have eliminated or dismissed any risks, you can now see them from the Eliminated Risks and Dismissed Reports buttons in the risk register of your property in your Onside web portal.
When risks are dismissed, you’ll be able to see why and by whom in the archive too. The person who reported the risk will also be notified via email it has been dismissed and why.
A much requested improvement has been made to the admin side of our Jobs feature.
From now on, you’ll see high-risk job markers next to the job names in the admin web portal, so you’ll know which will trigger high-risk notifications when your visitors use it to check-in.
If you commonly do multiple jobs on a property you’re visiting, you’ll be pleased to know you can now show this in Onside.
Tap the side menu button 
while checked in to change the job you’re doing. This will reflect in reporting as well as to the other visitors.
We’ve given the check-in QR codes in Onside an awesome new poster option, guaranteed to stand out.

We’ve heard from our users that our Viticulture risk templates in the Onside Web Portal needed a bit of an update, so that’s exactly what we’ve done.
You can find new risk templates such as; Sheep grazing, Damaged trellis, and Bird shooting. Add them to your property from the Onside Web Portal.
Inviting people to Onside is nothing new, Property and Company Admins have been able to do this for a long time. But what if you don’t manage a property? What if you’re a contractor?
We’ve now added a share button, available to all Onside users.
Know someone in your industry who could really benefit from using Onside? Sharing is only a couple of taps away.

Earlier this year we gave property managers the option of downloading QR codes for their properties, another quick and easy way for visitors to check-in.
We’ve heard from our users that having the QR code reader in the Onside app would also be super handy, especially for phone’s that don’t have the QR reader built in. You’ll now find the QR reader button to the right of the property search bar.
Note: Our QR code reader will only read Onside QR codes.
You or your team may have checked in to a property only to find the property manager/owner hasn’t set a list of jobs to choose from. This can be problematic if you’re checking in a group of people or you’ll be doing a high-risk job.
Good news! Company Admins of companies with Onside Teams can now set a job list for their team. This means, regardless of the property their staff check-in to, they can choose from the list set for their company in Onside.
Enable yours now. If you don’t have Onside Teams, find out more here or give us a call 1800 112334.
Got a task that needs doing, but your contractor hasn’t downloaded the Onside app yet? Not to worry, we have just the solution.

Property admins will now be alerted via the Onside app to any visitors still checked in to their properties 30 minutes after the visitors’ alert (so they have time to check-out).
Company admins also have the option of receiving these alerts.
Have your Company admin activate End of Day Notifications from the Company settings in your Onside Web Portal.
If an emergency happens on a property, it’s critical everyone knows who to report to.
We’ve now added ‘Wardens’ to the Emergency Plan to allow you to do exactly that, as well as a second first aid contact.
Update your Emergency Plan now from your Onside Web Portal.
From time to time a visitor may check-in incorrectly. Perhaps they were just wanting to check the risks of the property before arriving, or maybe it was the wrong property all together. You can now see if your visitor was Onsite, 200m+, 1km+, or 10km away when they checked in.
Simply generate a visitor report from your Onside Web Portal to find out.
You can now include a profile picture with your Onside account.
