The PosiEd EDC package includes a well-developed Kiosk application that can perform the following types of functions:
Student Sign In/Out
Student Check In/Out
Staff Member Sign In/Out
Visitor Sign In/Out (Future Release)
This Kiosk function is unmanaged meaning that either your own in-house developers or your Salesforce partner can extend the Kiosk's functionality to meet your organization's specific needs if required. However, it provides a range of functions out-of-the-box and those functions can be administered through the Kiosk Definition object.
...
Select the specific Function of the Kiosk Definition from the options.
Staff Sign In and Visitor Sign In are not yet supported.
...
In the Contact Search field, specify which of the Contact search options you want the Kiosk to support. Currently, only Student ID and Name are supported for student kiosks. The Staff ID and Name are supported in the Staff Kiosk. Barcode and Camera are not yet supported.
...
These Contact Search options specify what options are available to the Kiosk user to locate their record in the Kiosk. For example, if you specify Student ID and Name, then the user can either type in their Student ID or their Name to locate their Contact record for the Sign In or Check In process.
Certain Kiosk functions send notifications to staff, in particular, the Sign In/Out functions. The Kiosk will locate the Staff Members of any Sessions that the student should currently be in if the student is late or leaving early, and will send notifications to those staff members. The Notification Channel option allows you to specify the method of communication to send these notifications to the staff members. Currently, only Salesforce notification is supported.
...
The In and Out checkboxes allow you to specify which functions are available on the specific Kiosk. For example, if this is a Sign In Kiosk, then you can specify whether you want it to support both Signing In and Signing Out, or just Signing In, or just Signing Out.
...
To configure a mobile device to execute the kiosk, refer to the Kiosk Administration section.
To sign in as a student using Kiosks, click the App Launcher and search for Kiosk.
...
Locate the URL provided above and insert the specific Kiosk Definition that you have previously created and a welcome message will be displayed indicating which school has been chosen.
...
Search for the Student name in the Student ID or Name search bar and click In.
...
If a student arrives after the expected time, a message will be shown displaying the anticipated arrival time and prompting you to select the reasons for the delay. These reasons will be based on the Kiosk Reason that you have specified in the Kiosk Definition.
...
After clicking the In or after selecting the reason for the late arrival, a message will display with the name of the student confirming that the student is checked in/signed in.
...
Afterwards, the Day Attendance record of the student will be updated. If the student signed in late an absence submission will be created and the selected reason will be reflected in the Absence Reason field.
