The visitor dashboard in SOVA is designed to be run from a touch screen monitor or tablet computer, and that's why it is designed with colorful, easy to "touch" buttons. Typically, our clients run a security department with a dedicated stand-up work station in a guard tower, security base, etc. This work station is located near a transaction window where security staff can process visitors and checkout equipment using the Visitor Dashboard interface shown below. You can certainly run the dashboard from a standard monitor with a mouse and keyboard if that's your choice.
