Tracking Center Visits

These next items go through the process necessary to start tracking your center's visits.

Customizing Recorded Information through your Sign-In Computer Setup

Click the Sign-in Stations button in the Center Attendance section from the Home screen in AccuCampus.

From the Sign-in Station screen click the Create New button to setup a Sign-in Station for one or multiple locations and to configure what services/options to have Students select.

Continue setting up each section that follows to specify exactly how you want the Sign-in Process to work. Note: You can setup a different Sign-in Station for each computer for any Locations within your AccuCampus account.

General Options

The General Options section allows you to name the Sign-in Station, define the operating modes, and set a quick access password.

General Options

  • Station Name: Simply give the Sign-in Station a relevant name to the Location or tracking situation.
  • Instructions: Additional text to display to students on this Sign-in Station screen
  • Tracking Mode: Either choose that you are tracking attendance for Center Attendance or “Class Attendance”. Note: If you choose Class Attendance you will not get any other options other than choosing the Location's schedule or Instructor's schedule to follow.
  • Sign-In/Out Mode: Choose either to have a Manually Selected, Single-Step Kiosk, or Multi-Step Kiosk mode. Note: If you choose Manually Selected or Single-Step Kiosk you will not get any other options other than choosing the Location.
    • Manually Selected: This option does a simple sign-in/sign-out recording nothing but in and out time-stamps for a Location. The Student has to choose whether it is a sign-in or sign-out though by clicking the Sign-in/Sign-out tabs.
    • Single-Step Kiosk: This option does a simple sign-in/sign-out recording nothing but in and out time-stamps for a Location. This mode checks to see if the student is already signed in to determine if the swipe is a sign-in or sign-out automatically.
    • Multi-Step Kiosk: This option allows you to do a more complex sign-in/sign-out recording the in and out time-stamps for a Location as well as Services, Tutors, Courses they are getting helped in. This mode checks to see if the student is already signed in to determine if the swipe is a sign-in or sign-out automatically.
  • Show visitor names: Select this option if you want to show the Student Names.
  • Show visitor photos: Select this option if you want to show the Student Photos.
  • Admin Passcode: Set a quick access password for someone to possibly change the class students are signing-in to at this time or add a student quickly.

Locations must exist in order to assign a Sign-in Station to one. Click here to learn more about how to create Locations.

You must click the “Edit Setting” option in the location you selected in the previous step.

Service Selection

  • Selection: Set this option to Auto or Disabled.

  • Allow selecting none: This will give the Student the option to select “None” instead of the other Services offered.
  • Allow selecting multiple services: This will allow the student to sign-in for multiple Services at once. Note: If you enable this option the reports may seem off on the time spent in Services as one visit will count the same time spent on the visit for both services. Example: I sign in for Tutoring and Required Lab hours for an hour. Then when you pull the report I show up for an hour in Tutoring and an hour in Required Lab hours.
