EVM Configuration

Assigning CENTEGIX Visitor badges to your Admin Panel

Step 1: Pull up the CENTEGIX admin panel and click on Visitor Badge Health.

Step 2: Click Add Visitor Badge

Step 3: Scan the QR code on the back of your yellow CENTEGIX Visitor Badge

You should now see a new entry in your Visitor Badge Health list. From here, we can move on to how to configure it from within Visitor Management.

Setting up CENTEGIX Enhanced Visitor Management functionality for your Visitor Management Check-In Station

Note, for existing customers using the visitor management system we recommend making a clone of the active station within the school and modifying settings, unless you are setting up during initial visitor management deployment.

First, you will have to setup the Barcode Scanner for scanning Centegix Visitor badges:

Step 1: On a web browser, visit https://client.ccssvm.com/ and log into your Centegix Visitor Management Check In Station as an Administrator user. 

Step 2: Click the menu icon in the top-left corner and click Settings. If you don’t see this option, click Switch to Admin Mode and try again. 

Step 3: On the Settings menu, click Devices. 

Next, click Add New Device.

Step 4: Select the  Barcode Scanner

Step 5: 

  • Under Device Name, rename the device so that you can easily distinguish it from your other scanner instances. (i.e. EVM Badge scanning)
  • Set the Min Characters value to 12. 
  • From the Scanning Mode dropdown, select CENTEGIX Badge. 

Step 6: Click Save. 

Next, you will have to enable CENTEGIX Visitor Badge Scanning for your badge of choice:


Step 7: Return to the main Settings page. From here, click Badge Settings. 

Step 8: Select the badge for which you’d like to enable CENTEGIX Visitor badge scanning. You must choose a badge with a display mode of Check In/Out to validate the return of the badge upon check-out, e.g., VISITOR.  

Step 9: Scroll down to the CrisisAlert™ Options section. Switch on the Enable Centegix VisitorBadge toggle. Select the scanner you created in steps 1 - 6 from the dropdown. 


Step 10: Click Save and you are done!

School Manager Settings

Go to Badge Settings - select the visitor badge you want to enable. We recommend adding the following text to the Message Board:

"Please remember to turn your yellow badge back in."

Configuring Options for Time Visiting

In the School Manager, click on Settings, choose Badge Settings, click on your Visitor badge, and then click on Title 4.

In the Title field, enter the word “Time” and make sure that Required and Displayed are enabled and hit Save.

Next, click on Answers above Save. This is where we will enter in the options for how long a visitor will be onsite for. 

Click on Add New at the top, enter a time in minutes or hours(these should be denoted by m for minutes and h for hours), and click Save.

By default, if there are no answers present in this prompt, it will set all visitors to 30 minutes.
