You can configure a Security Center macro to
trigger automatic check-in and access for all visitors to specified parking entrances or
gated facilities. For example, when visitors drive to a site and need to access a parking
entrance or gated facility before the check-in can occur, or at locations where there is no
self-service kiosk. For example, a harbor location.
