KeepnTrack records history whenever a person signs in to or out of aKiosk. Depending on security settings, administrators or other users with the appropriate security level can edit and create history records manually. This is useful when a person performs an activity when there is no kiosk available, or when they forget to sign in or out.

History records created by signing in to or out of a kiosk

An Administrator can modify the Duration of the activity, and even leave notes describing the reason for the modification. Transaction Date is editable. Duration is what actually counts toward both current and lifetime hours so even if a person forgets to sign in or sign out, the Administrator can modify their duration thereby assuring the time spent in the activity is accurate.

Manually created history records

With the right Security Group permissions, an Administrator can manually create a history record in People > Actions menu > Add Person History, or a user can add one to their account in Person Status > History.

A destination is a sub-category of the main activity type. For example, if you have an activity named “Classroom”, a possible destination could be “Mr. Johnston”—the teacher in charge of the class. Destinations are optional and are created and stored per activity in Tools > Activities > Destinations.

Badge Number

When a person signs in to an activity, KeepnTrack generates a one-time use barcode for use with our self-adhesive badges. This barcode, or “badge number”, can later be used to sign out of the activity using the Kiosk. Since these badge numbers are unique, they can be referenced again in the future. This non-editable Badge Number field displays this Kiosk-generated barcode number.

Please keep in mind, however, that a badge number isn't generated for manually created history records and will appear blank.

Job Number

Use this field to assign an optional job number to this person for an activity—primarily for Staff and Vendor to enter either government—required ticket or invoice numbers corresponding with their visit (e.g. the district Staff repair person working at your facility may have been assigned a job number).
