This article will walk you through using Attendance software interface and options.

Dedicated attendance computers are available for checkout from the Solutions Hub and/or can be issued to users/department for long term use if determined it is needed.  

Interface:

The main screen has 4 items

A.  Scan Badge box: This is where badge numbers are entered, either manually or using a reader.

B.  Records/Logs: All badge entries and comments with corresponding time stamps.

C.  Comment box:  Text box used to add manual comments and save them to the log.

D.  Counter:  Running count of how many badge entries (not comments) have been logged in the active session.

Comment box:

Comments can be to add any information relevant to your scenario or event.  
For example:

• Student forgot their badge, you can log their name.
• Badge isn't recognized, but you can enter the name of the person.
• Use it to say hi to your future-self.
• Enter whatever text you want!  (full disclosure that anything entered will be saved and others can view it)

Scanning Badges:

1. Power on the Attendance computer.  It should automatically boot up, log in, and load the main attendance page.
   (if Windows requires a login, it should be labeled on the computer)
2. Connect the Badge Reader (if applicable)
3. Swipe the badge near the reader; it should beep
4. Confirm in the log.  The badge number should appear momentarily in the Scan Badge box (A) and then show up in the Log (B)
