The Web Manager is an important part of making sure your visitor management system has the proper settings, correct lists and more. We recommend you check the following:

1. Check your active users in the Users list. This list manages all users who have access to your Ident-A-Kid apps. If a staff member has left, or changed positions and no longer needs access, we recommend removing them. Learn how to manage users here.
2. We recommend you familiarize yourself with the reporting module. To learn how to create reports click here.
