To enable the student sign-in/out functionality the kiosks role must have type: “Reception”
(More information on configuring kiosk roles here)
The supervision of an attendance officer is required as the kiosk is not a stand-alone device.
Student Sign-In
When a student arrives late to school, the attendance officer will guide the student to the kiosk and observe the student signing into school
The late student will either scan the barcode on their student card to identify themselves.
In the scenario where a student does not have their student card with them - they can select “I can’t use my card” enter their student ID (synergetic ID) and click continue to lookup the student
The late student will select a reason for arriving late. If the list is long the student can scroll through the reasons.
In the selection view, the student's details are displayed so the attendance officer can validate the student identity
The late reasons are configurable (here)
Upon confirmation, the student's sign-in event will be recorded in Synergetic's absence events maintenance table.
If a printer is configured the student will collect the late slip or proceed to class
Student Sign-Out
When a student departs early from school, the attendance officer will first validate if the student is authorised to leave and then guide the student to the kiosk and observe the student signing out of school
The student will either scan the barcode on their student card to identify themselves.
In the scenario where a student does not have their student card with them - they can enter their studentID (synergetic ID) to lookup the student
The student will select a reason for departing school early.
In the selection view, the student's details are displayed so the attendance officer can validate the student identity
