SetupSee More

Initial Configuration Settings

URL Address: https://ak-matsu.edupoint.com/ click TEST Connection

IT will configure the App for you, below is information on how the App is initially set up for your use.

App Settings are configured in "Preferences"
Tardy - This tab is used to hide or set the options for Tardy Check In on the Self-Service screen.

There is a new option to choose per Kiosk which tardy code you want to use. The tardy code is defaulted on the screen School Attendance Codes and you can edit this value here, but you can also choose the additional value for a second Kiosk by marking it in the above screen using the below setting.

ID Card - This tab is used to hide or set the options for the Print Student ID Card option on the Self-Service screen.
1. Note: ID Card is suggested to not used at this time as it uses too much expensive paper
  
OLR - This tab is used to hide or set the options for the Add OLR Documents option on the Self-Service screen.
Discipline - This tab is used to hide or set the options for Detention Check In. Please also see the Detention KB article.
Early Dismissal Check Out - This tab is used to hide or set Early Dismissal options. The feature is designed to input a departure time for the current period during the day. This is so that the minutes for that student are correct even though they weren't necessarily "absent" for the full period. Due to the possibility of the student returning to school later in the day, the subsequent periods are not automatically marked with an absence code. It would remain the responsibility of the teacher to mark the student absent in the periods that they aren't in class.
Printer - This tab is used to configure blue tooth printer for use of printing Tardy slips.
1. See Troubleshooting for help with printer configuration steps, if the printer is not connected.
Click close on the bottom right to exit the Preferences.

If needed, to get back to the Administrator Access screen (for preferences, or to logout), click "Administrator Access" on the bottom left of the student landing page.
