Overview
Boulevard's Reception app is able to be used on Apple iPad only. Use on iPad Mini is not recommended. To manage settings for the Boulevard Reception iPad app, click the gear icon at the bottom left of the main screen.
Assigning the Location
To assign the iPad to a specific location:
- Tap the gear icon
- Tap Location
- Tap to add a checkmark next to the appropriate location
Enabling/Disabling Remote Control
Remote control allows the front desk to open orders on the device remotely from the Dashboard. This feature can be disabled on devices that are not meant for checking out clients. Disabling remote control will still allow for check-ins and forms. To enable or disable remote control:
- Tap the gear icon
- Tap Behavior
- Toggle Use remote control right to enable or left to disable
Using Guided Access
Boulevard recommends using Apple's 'guided access' mode, which when set can require a passcode to exit the Reception app. To set up guided access on the iPad:
- Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access.
- Turn on Guided Access.
- Tap Passcode Settings, then tap Set Guided Access Passcode.
- Enter a passcode, then reenter it. From here, you can also turn on Face ID or Touch ID as a way to end a Guided Access session.
