  • Patent number: 11900748
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for analyzing and attesting physical access to a location. In an example, an administrator can create a survey for users in an organization. The survey can be sent to a user device as a notification. The user can complete the survey, and the user's physical access rights can be determined based on the survey answers. When the user attempts to gain access to a location of the organization, the user can provide a digital access badge. The digital access badge can be mapped to the user's access permissions. The user can be granted or denied access depending on whether the user answered the survey and, if answered, what answers the user provided.

  • Patent number: 11592953
    Abstract: A notification builder implemented through a graphical user interface (“GUI”) provides a platform for building notifications and defining priorities for how the notifications will be presented to users of managed devices. Elements included in the notification builder and selectable as part of a build process can provide options for naming a notification, providing content for the notification, defining recipients, setting a respective priority, and creating action buttons. An action button can allow a user that has received a notification built with the notification builder to interact with the notification in a predetermined manner. The GUI can also provide data relating to the notification, such as success/failure, read/unread, etc.
