Tool Search: Hall Monitor Scanner
The Hall Monitor Scanner tool is used to track tardy students during the school day. Once the tardy student scans an ID card, the Hall Monitor can enter the tardy reason. This information is automatically sent to a printer, and a hall pass is printed for the student.
For scanners to work correctly, the cursor must be in the entry box before scanning a barcode. If the cursor is not in the box, the scanner cannot copy/paste the number into the box, and the student is not properly scanned in.
Printers must be configured to automatically print hall passes. See the Printer Setup documentation for additional information.
Using the Hall Monitor Scanner
To begin taking attendance using the Hall Pass Scanner, students either scan their ID cards or the attendance taker manually enters the student ID number from the Hall Monitor Scanner screen. When manually entering student IDs, the user must press Enter to continue.
Hall Monitor Scanner
The Scanned in Student screen displays when a student ID is entered. An image of the student, as well as identification information and current-term attendance data for the student.
The attendance personnel uses the Tardy Excuse droplist to select the reason for the tardy. Users may enter any additional notes for the tardiness in the Comments box.
When finished, press Confirm to print a hall pass for the student. Press Cancel to exit without printing the hall pass.
