This program will provide users with the ability to track a student's or staff's location by scanning an ID card bar code. The scanner we use for our design and testing is a Symbol brand, model number DS9208. We prefer this model as it allows easy scanning of both bar codes and QR codes, that some of the scanning solutions that we are developing will utilize.
In User Management, the user must have specific permissions assigned to limit actions that can be performed with buttons and/or cells being grayed out.
- Example: To modify the date/time field on the setup box (Category > Attendance, Program > Location Scanning , Action > Allow Scanning Date Override).
Menu Location
On the left navigation panel, select Attendance > Entry > Location Scanning.
Setup Options
Year - This field will be defaulted to the current school year.
District - This will default to the user's security.
School - This field will be set based on the user's security. Staff Location Scanning will work differently from Student location scanning depending on the school chosen.
Location - Click to select a previously used location. If the desired location is not listed, close the pick list and begin to type the name of the new location. This will add the new location to the pick list.
Scan Student or Staff - Select whether students or staff members will be scanned.
Date/Time - Manually add an override date/time.
Use Alternate ID -
OK - Click to continue.
After OK is clicked, the Location Scanning box will appear. Scan a person`s ID card or type in the staff or student ID number and press Enter on the keyboard to record that person`s location. Or, after typing in the ID number, if you wait the entry will automatically record to the graph at the top left of the screen.
Once a student`s ID is scanned or entered, their picture will be displayed with their name, grade, homeroom teacher, and the Scan Time. Once a staff`s ID is scanned or entered, their picture will be displayed with the Scan Time.
The graph will appear in the background with a delete cell/column, the person`s name, the date and time of the scan, and the location.
An optional method of entering information is to use the top blank line on the scan list to select a teacher/student and manually enter the date/time and the location.
Be sure to click the Save cell when entering a record manually.
A user can also edit existing records by selecting the info in the cell that needs editing, make the changes and click the Save cell.
