20. Locks and sliders

Sliders in the (Web)App (updated September 2025)

With the Locks module, you can decide exactly where the locks (sliders) are placed in the (Web)App. This gives you the flexibility to fully tailor the layout to your personal preferences or to the branding and requirements of your organization.

Important: Adding the Locks module does not mean that the locks will function immediately.
 To ensure the locks work correctly, they must first be imported and then assigned to one or more switch lists.

    You can customize the greeting text as desired:
     
    • Text color: choose a color that matches your branding.
    • Alignment: set the text alignment to left, center, or right.
       

IInvite Button (share key)

Do you want users to easily be able to share their digital key, with roommates or colleagues for example?

  • You can activate the Invite Button.
  • This button is automatically displayed below the sliders.
  • With one click, the user can invite someone else to gain access.
  • This improves ease of use and offers flexibility in situations where multiple people need access.

2. Before Arrival

With this feature, you can provide users with information and settings even before their arrival.

  • Check-in and Check-out
     
    • Here you can display the check-in and check-out date and time.
    • If the user is not yet allowed to check in, the slider will be shown as inactive (greyed out). In this case, it is not possible to slide the slider to the right.
       
  • Pre-arrival messages
     
    • You can add a personal message that will be visible before the sliders can be used.
    • Just like in the text module, this text can be styled with formatting options.
    • Actions can easily be undone using the arrow icons in the top-right corner of the text field.
       
  • Translate and save
     

    • Are you satisfied with the text? You can translate it using the “Translate & Save” button or via the translation options in the top-right corner of the screen.
