In EVA Check-in, zones describe distinct areas or locations within a single site e.g. floors, buildings, wings, gates, business units, or even educational programmes.
The new Zone Selector lets a visitor choose where they are going after they check in at the reception or entrance gate. That choice is recorded on the visitor’s profile and on live presence views, so you know where people are across the site.
Why this matters
- Faster musters and clearer evacuations - personnel lists show who is likely to be in which zone
- Better coordination on large or complex sites – great for emergencies
- Extra safety requirements for the zone can be covered at check-in
- Cleaner reporting - visits can be analysed by zone for workload, risk, and throughput – and sent to Procore too if you are using our connector
Here are some industry examples that make use of this versatile feature:
Construction and Civil Sites
- Large projects often share a single gate or few main gates. Zone Selector records the destination area at gate check-in, such as Structures, Earthworks North, Fitout - Tower 2, or Traffic Management.
- When using the EVA Procore integration, the selected zone is sent to Procore with the visit data to keep project systems aligned.
- Evacuations run cleaner when gate teams and area leads work from zone-filtered lists.
Healthcare
- Hospitals and clinics can record destination services such as Cardiology, Radiology, Day Surgery, or Ward 5
- Specific rules or information about the destination zone can be shown
- Wayfinding improves and evacuation wardens/leaders have a clearer picture of visitors and contractors by area
Shared office space and multi-tenant buildings
- One reception that serves multiple businesses can list each tenant as a zone.
- Guests then choose the business (zone) they are visiting.
- Presence reporting by tenant stays distinct without needing extra kiosks.
Training facilities and after-school or holiday programmes
- Define zones as the education programme or course names, such as Coding - Level 1, Basketball U13, or First Aid.
- Attendance and evacuation lists reflect the class the student is attending.
- Returning students benefit from remembered zones for quick repeat check-ins.
How it works for administrators
Define zones per site. Examples: Building A, Level 3, Radiology, Gate 7, Tenancy 12, Workshop North, Programme - Robotics.
Choose whether each zone uses the standard check-in flow or a custom flow with extra steps. Some zones carry different safety requirements. Zone Selector connects the visitor’s destination with the right process.
For example:
- High-risk areas - trigger acustom check-in for that zone, capture extra acknowledgements, and display mandatory precautions.
- First-time access - require completion of an online induction or training module before granting entry tothat zone. Create a certificate with expiry on it.
- PPE or permit reminders - display zone-specific instructions or forms only when relevant.
Operational clarity during emergencies
- Muster lists show who is checked in and their selected zone.
- Floor wardens and area managers can run zone-specific evacuations or roll calls.
- Broadcast comms via push notifications or SMS can be sent to all people in specific zones.
- Post-event reports include zone data for review and improvement.
Conclusion
Zone Selector turns a single reception or main gate check-in into accurate on-site location awareness. It supports safety, speeds evacuations, and keeps integrations consistent - including sending zone data to Procore when enabled. It also adapts to varied scenarios across healthcare, construction, shared offices, and education, while keeping repeat check-ins fast with remembered zones.
