What’s New in Version 4.1?1. Visitor Log In. Allow users not already in the Patron Data to log in using a 10-digit number (such as a cell

phone number) and “register” for in Patron Data for future visits.2. Counselor Time Clock. Set up specifically for counselors’ office use. Students and visitors log in, select

name of the counselor they need to see, select the primary purpose of their visit, and log out (option to print 3x5 Student Admit Slip to return to class).

3. Administrator Time Clock. Set up specifically for three primary uses: Student Tardies - Tracks students who are late to school or class and prints a 3x5 Student Admit Slip to return to class; Clock Out/In - Tracks students who need to leave school for doctors’ appointments, etc. or for early dismissal. Optional log back in and print 3x5 Student Admit Slip; Office Visits - Tracks students and visitors coming to see an administrator.

This prevents unauthorized persons from deactivating the Log In mode.

5. Track class visits. Enter students and teachers into the Patron Data layout. Distinguish staff from students by entering “Teacher” in the “Class” field. When a teacher logs in, he/she will be prompted for a Primary Purpose of Visit (optional) and then asked to indicate the number of students they are bringing as a class (requires use of a keyboard or numeric keypad). The number will be tracked (without logging specific students) and will be added to the activity totals in reports.

6. Additional pre-loaded reports. Summary reports can now be generated with or without student ID numbers. From the Patron Activity layout, click the “Create Report” button to access the pre-loaded reports. Enter a date or date range and select the desired report. Filter the report even further by clicking the “Find” button in the Status Bar, enter your parameters (such as, a time range), and click the “Perform Find” to complete the search.

7. Improved Purpose of Visit Menu. The Purpose of Visit menu now automatically opens when a patron has logged in, further prompting a response.

8. All features are now self-contained in one master program. Select the version with the features you want. Switch between versions/features when desired, including whether to allow Log In for ID numbers not in Patron Data.

9. Fire Drill Report. Click one button to print an “emergency” report of students currently logged in (does not work with Basic Log In or Standard Log In versions).

10.Kiosk Mode. Log in with Account Name: Kiosk and all menu bars are eliminated, keeping unauthorized persons from shutting down the program.

General DescriptionThis database solution has been designed for use as a “Runtime” program, or as a template for FileMaker Pro software (version 12 or newer). It is a simple log-in/log-out program for monitoring student traffic and includes information to track the general reasons for that use. This program works successfully with hardware for scanning a student ID, if the hardware is properly installed and working.

Student activity can be manipulated to provide a variety of reports through the use of “find” and “sort” searches, including the following examples:

1. Verify whether a student was in the library and the exact time of entry/departure.2. Track the total number of student visits during a given time period (hour, day, week, month, etc.)3. Track the total number of visits of a specific student.4. Track the most common purposes for student visits.5. Track the number of students coming with a teacher for a class visit.

Running Time Clock1. In the Main Menu, click the “Activate Log In” button.2. Enter a student ID number. This can be done using a

keyboard, numeric key pad, or a scannable ID and reader, such as a barcode reader.

�6

students they are bringing, if they are bringing a class.5.A confirmation screen will appear for two seconds, verifying that the log-in was successful.6.The next time the same student ID number is entered, the student will be logged out and a confirmation screen will appear, verifying that the log-out was successful. (This step is omitted in “Log-In Only” versions of the program.)7.To exit the log in mode, scroll down the window and click the “Cancel Log In Mode” button. (This button is hidden from view to prevent students from accessing it.) You will be prompted to enter your Account and Password in order to exit the Log In mode. An incorrect entry will simply return you to the Log

In screen. Once you exit the Log In mode, you will be returned to the Main Menu. From the Main Menu, you can view the Student Activity, view the Student Data, go to the About screen, access the Help Menu, access the Customize Menu, or quit the program.

8. For the most efficient daily operation, use barcoded student IDs. Students will only need access to a barcode reader and a mouse (the mouse is only needed if students will be selecting their “Purpose of Visit”). In lieu of scanning student IDs, students may manually enter ID numbers on a keyboard or numeric keypad. A separate numeric keypad only is more desirable than a full computer keyboard, although either can be used. Important: The highest level of security is obtained by running the program in Kiosk mode. In this mode, all menu and tool bars are removed from the screen, preventing unauthorized persons from disrupting program operation.

Working with Patron InformationThe Patron Activity screen displays all activity in a list format. The ID number, name, class, date and time in, time out, and purpose of visit are all visible and printable.

Manual Log Out - If a patron does not have a “time out” following his/her name, they missed logging in or out at some point. This should be monitored regularly (i.e. at the end of each class period, at the end of the morning and afternoon, or at the end of the day). If this shows to be a pattern with a particular student, the System Administrator can address that with the individual. To manually log out those students and reset the system for the next time they enter, click the “Manual log out” button. The time will be recorded and a message placed in the record that they were logged out manually, for tracking purposes.

Sorting Records - To sort records by ID, name, or date/time in, click on the column header. To create a custom sort order, click the sort icon in the toolbar or use the menu command Records => Sort Records.

Finding Records - To enter the find mode, click the “Find” icon on the top of the screen or use the menu command View => Find Mode. You may then set up your search parameters. Click in the field(s) you want to search to enter the information. By using the “Insert: Operators” in the Status Bar on the top of the screen, you

�7

can expand your search criteria to provide you with a wide range of data. At the bottom of the screen is a Count of Entries, which will automatically update to indicate the number of records found in your search. Some commonly useful searches might include:

1. Patron name - to verify a student came to the library and the times of entry and departure.

2. Today’s Date - to count the number of patrons served.

3. Range of Dates - to count the number of patrons served during a given week, month, etc.

4. Class - to track the usage of patrons in a given class.

5. Purpose of visit - to track the most common reasons patrons visited the library.

A report based on find and sort criteria can be printed by clicking the “Print” icon at the top of the screen or by using the menu command File => Print.

When you are finished with your find requests, click the “Show All” button at the top of the screen, click the “Show All” icon in the toolbar, or use the menu command Records => Show All Records.

Using Pre-Formatted ReportsTo use the pre-formatted reports, click the “Create Report” button at the top of the Patron Activity screen.

On the Report Set-Up screen, enter the date (ex. 8/1/11) or date range (ex. 8/1/11...8/31/11) for the data you want to include in the report. (Three different types of report are available - with data, with data but no ID numbers, or

summary only.) Click the button for the report you wish to view.

The “Date Summary with Data” will sort the activity by date, display a subtotal by date, and display a grand total for the period of time requested. The report can also be printed, or can be saved as a .pdf file to be emailed or

�8

stored electronically. To return to the Report Set-Up screen, click the “New Report Request” button.

The “Purpose Summary with Data” will sort the activity by Purpose of visit, giving a count of patrons for each purpose. Valuable in tracking the usage of the library.

The “Patron Summary with Data” will sort the activity by student and display each student’s visits, total of each student’s visits, the total elapsed time spent by each student, and the grand total of student visits for the time period requested.

A “summary only” report, will display the subtotals and grand totals for each day, purpose of visit, or student without displaying each individual entry.

Backing Up and Recovering FilesYou should periodically back up your data. Use the menu command File => Save a Copy As. You can use the default name and overwrite any previous back ups or you can add a numeric stamp (1, 2, 3, etc.) or date stamp (i.e. Aug. 15, 2009 = 081509) to save copies sequentially. If your data is lost or damaged, you can follow the import steps previously described to import the records into your database.

If your file is damaged, you can also try the following steps:

To recover a damaged file:On Windows machines, press Ctrl+Shift while double-clicking the runtime application icon. Hold the keys down until you see the Open Damaged File dialog box.

On Mac OS X machines, press ⌘(Command)-Option while double-clicking the runtime application icon. Hold the keys down until you see the Open Damaged File dialog box.

What to expect during the recovery processDuring the recovery process, the runtime application:

Creates a new fileRenames any damaged file by adding Old to the end of the filenames (for example, Contact Manager is

renamed to Contact Manager Old)Gives the repaired file the original name

�9

If you experience unusual behavior in the recovered files, you should revert to a backup copy that was made before the file became corrupt, or contact the Developer for technical assistance.

CustomizingOn the “Customize” screen, you may change the Greeting, the Organization Name, the Logo/Mascot, and the list of Purposes of Visit.

To change the “Greeting”:Highlight the existing text (ex. “Welcome to”) and retype your own message. Highlight and reformat the font, text color, etc. using the Format Menu above. Caution: Using a font larger than 10 point may cause overlap on the organization name.

To change the “Organization Name”:Highlight the text and retype your own name (e.g. “Wilson H.S. Library”, “Johnson Nurse’s Office”, etc.). Highlight and reformat the font, text color, etc. using the Format Menu above. Caution: Using a font larger than 24 point may cause overlap on the items below.

To use your own mascot or logo:Click in the logo box and use the Insert Menu => Picture to locate your file; or “Copy” your picture from another source and “Paste” it into the logo box. Caution: Your logo should be formatted into “square image proportions” to avoid distortion. If it is not already proportioned that way, one method of achieving this is to layer your image on top of a square in another program, the “Group” them

together before inserting.

To change the “Purpose of Visit” menu selections:Retype over existing “purposes” and/or use the add or delete buttons. The program will always alphabetize the list as it displays them in a pull-down window. If you want them to be in a different order, include a number or letter in field with the purpose (e.g. 1. Study; 2. Test; 3. Read; 4. Other; or A. Study; B. Test; 3. Read; 4. Other; etc.).

Starting a New YearTo begin a new year (or semester), save a back up copy of the previous year’s file, then follow the instructions in the “Setting Up Your Data” section to purge the Student Activity records and the Student Data records import the new student data.

If you want to keep the Student Activity records from the earlier version (so you have record of all previous visits), repeat the above steps exporting the Student Activity from the earlier version and importing into the Student Time Clock v4.1

Allowing Visitors/New UsersSetting this option to “No” will only allow log in/out of patrons whose ID number is already entered into the Patron Data layout. Any attempt to log in with an improper ID number will result in an alert, then reset to the Log In screen.Setting this option to “Yes” will allow a new ID number to be entered. New students will be prompted to enter their

ID numbers and visitors will be prompted to enter a “unique” 10-digit number (such as a cell phone number). Note: Duplicate numbers will cause the program to be inaccurate in future log in/out. Once a new ID number has been entered, the patron will be taken to a screen to enter their full name before continuing the process. They will then be entered into the Patron Data for future use. Note: The user will NOT make an entry in the “Class” field. This must be done by the system administrator in the Patron Data layout for all new student entries. For visitors, either enter “Visitor” in the “Class” field or leave it blank. A blank “Class” field will not affect program operation.

Printing Student Admit SlipsWhen this option is set to “Yes,” a 3x5 Student Admit slip will be printed for every student showing the Student ID

Number, Student Name, and Date & Time. When the option is set to “Optional,” students will be taken to a screen where they will choose whether or not to print a Student Admit slip. When versions are selected that do not require logging out (Standard Log In and Basic Log In), the slip will print each time an entry is made by a student. When versions are selected that do require logging out, the slip will print only upon the second entry of the student ID number.

The program should work with any printer that properly works with the host computer. A regular laser or ink jet printer will work if loaded with 3x5 paper.

If it becomes necessary to reprint a Student Admit slip, cancel the Log-In Mode, go to the Patron Activity layout, and click the Reprint Admit button for the student(s) in question.

In “Administrator Time Clock, if the features are set for using a “Purpose of Visit” (also used for “Reasons for Tardy/Absence), then that will also display.
