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.
  • Also, here is another scanner recommended by our clients: Alacrity 2D QR Wireless Barcode Scanner with Stand, 2.4GHz Wireless & Wired USB Hands Free Barcode Reader 6709DA
  • For setup, see Kiosk Printing.

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 would need settings of Category> Attendance, Program> Location Scanning, Action> Allow Scanning Date Override.
