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.
...
The Reasons are taken from the Absence Reasons object. Make sure that the Absence Reason you select is one from the Attendance Rules list applicable to this school. It is recommended to create a list of Absence Reason codes from the specific Attendance Rules, allowing for easier searching and addition to the Kiosk Reason.
...
In the In Priority and Out Priority fields you can specify the Priority of this Reason separately for the In and Out functions. For example, if you want this Reason to be the first in the list of Sign In reasons but third on the list of Sign Out Reasons, you would enter values of 1 and 3 in the corresponding fields.
