Screening

## Smarter Watchlist Matching

Watchlist matching ignores capitalization, accents, apostrophes, and extra spaces in names, so Mālie O'Brien matches Malie OBrien. An entry without a date of birth matches anyone with the same name.

Possible matches also stay on a check-in when staff correct the visitor's identity. See [Understand How Watchlist Screening Works](https://docs.goguardian.com/products/visitor/watchlists.md#understand-how-watchlist-screening-works).

Kiosks

## See Hall Pass Results at the Kiosk

When a check-in or pickup creates hall passes, the kiosk's done screen lists each student's pass with where it starts, where it goes, and its status. If Hall Pass couldn't create a pass, the kiosk asks the student or guardian to see the front desk.

The **Front Desk** also shows staff when a pass wasn't created, with the reason. See [Finish and Print a Badge](https://docs.goguardian.com/products/visitor/kiosk-check-in-experience.md#finish-and-print-a-badge).

Notifications

## Get Alerted When a Check-In Needs Review

![](https://mintcdn.com/goguardian/U0J_B-nga8cecOOE/images/whats-new/visitor/november-5-2026.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=U0J_B-nga8cecOOE\&q=85\&s=79fa832328bac67f9ee2eb6d2a447e31)

Visitor notifies Site Admins and the staff at a check-in point when a check-in needs review, such as a possible watchlist match or students to confirm for a pickup. Notifications arrive in GoGuardian, by email, and by push.

You can also send a test notification to a notification list to confirm members get the email and text before a real match. See [Understand Screening Alert Notifications](https://docs.goguardian.com/products/visitor/notifications.md#understand-screening-alert-notifications) and [Send a Test Notification](https://docs.goguardian.com/products/visitor/notification-lists.md#send-a-test-notification).

Badge printing

## Print Badges from the Front Desk

![](https://mintcdn.com/goguardian/U0J_B-nga8cecOOE/images/whats-new/visitor/november-4-2026.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=U0J_B-nga8cecOOE\&q=85\&s=f4c135062c78e1792da780d3e14870ee)

Add a badge printer and print badges right from the **Front Desk**, without a kiosk. Select several checked-in visitors to print all their badges at once.

See [Print Badges from the Front Desk](https://docs.goguardian.com/products/visitor/badge-printers.md#print-badges-from-the-front-desk).
