Check students in when they arrive
Confirm arrivals so the log shows travel time as well as time out — and spot the ones who never turned up.
Checking a student in takes one tap and buys you something the pass alone cannot give you: the difference between left class and arrived. That gap is the corridor time — and the students whose gap is consistently long are the ones worth a quiet word.
Doing it
When a student arrives, find their card and tap Check In. The card moves fromEn route to Arrived and the arrival time is written against the pass. On a busy screen, use the search field to jump to a name rather than hunting.
The card that stays red
A card marked Late is a student who left for you longer ago than your school’s time limit and has not arrived. Sometimes that is a queue at the bathroom. Sometimes it is worth a call to the office. Either way it is the one piece of information a paper pass has never been able to give you: a student who set out and did not turn up.
Students who never arrive
They simply stay in En route until the pass auto-ends. Nothing bad happens to the data — the pass is recorded with no arrival time, which is itself the useful signal. If it keeps happening with the same names, look at their student profile for the wider picture.
Looking back at the day
The history icon in the top right of the kiosk shows recent check-ins at this screen. It answers the question a librarian is actually asked — “was he in here at 11?” — without leaving the board.
Why bother
Two reports get materially better once arrivals are recorded:
- Travel time. Vero can separate the walk from the visit, so “out for 14 minutes” becomes “9 minutes to get there”, which is a very different conversation.
- Never arrived. Passes with no arrival at a monitored location stand out — the clearest signal in the whole system that a student is not where they said they would be.
