The Site Access functionality improves the on-site experience between technicians and location staff and increases the transparency of the check-in/out process. With Site Access, store users know exactly which technicians will arrive on-site or have already checked in and what services they are performing.
Location employees with the Site Access Mobile permission can use the Site Access module in ServiceChannel Mobile, where they can do the following:

Viewing Scheduled-to-Arrive and Checked-In Technicians
Once you land on the Site Access screen of a specific location, you see the following tabs:
- Scheduled: Lists work orders where the scheduled date is within the next 24 hours as well as assigned technicians (if any). Here, you can see who exactly is supposed to arrive at your location before they get on-site. Once a technician checks in, the work order is moved to the Checked-In tab.
- Checked-In: Contains service requests to which technicians are currently checked in.
On each tab, you can see the following info for each work order:

Scanning a Technician’s Badge
If your company has the badge scanning feature enabled, your admin may set up rules that require you to verify a technician by scanning their badge before they can start servicing the request. Should the badge scanning rule be triggered, a technician cannot check into a work order before having their badge scanned by a designated store employee.
Your admin configures rules that trigger the badge scanning requirement. For example, you may need to scan a technician’s badge if when they attempt to check in outside of the acceptable check-in time frame or outside the allowed GPS radius.
When you see that the work order status on the Scheduled tab is Badge Scan Required, it means you need to verify a technician by scanning their badge before they can get to work.
