Attendance Check-In

The Attendance Check-In screen provides a streamlined, quick way to check tardy students into school.

The top portion of the screen is used to select the student – either by their student id or by their last name.

If the student's ID cards contain a barcode of their ID #, a barcode scanner can be used to quickly read the number and locate the student's record.

A touch screen will alternately allow administrators (or students) to select letters or numbers, and perform the search, directly on the screen.

The bottom portion of the screen displays the student(s) who match the search criteria (e.g. last name) entered – or scanned – into the field at the top.

A simple "Check-In" button checks in the selected student. See the procedure below. Optionally, a student pass can be printed to permit the student to walk to their classroom.

This provides a highly streamlined check-in – or checkout – process. Prior to using Attendance Check-In ,Attendance codes must be configured to be used with it.
