For RSS, should I use ParentID or ChildID? Must use child activities as a pre-requisite ParentID is easy but more prone to fraud ChildID is less prone to fraud, more work
ActivityID vs Activity Code The approach selected is based on your fraud reduction policies ActivityCode must be enabled in preferences ActivityCode must be unique – you manage ActivityCode is always alphanumeric Length limit of 20 characters You cannot use a mix of ActivityID and ActivityCode ActivityCode may already be reserved for other purposes

Self-Scan – QR code printed and posted QR - Two modes Self-Scan – QR code printed and posted Admin Scan – QR on badge scanned by staff Some clients use QR guns – tied to a web-connected device such as a tablet. Admins cannot scan themselves or other admins for testing or other purposes.

Record Attendance Screen Electronic sign in sheet Bulk operations If you are only adjusting credit for one person (or a few) use the Credit Manager instead Whatever is checked gets credit Whatever is unchecked does not Uses activity setup data – date, amounts
Record Attendance Screen - Basics Credits offered & hours Date defaults to last date of a course Date can be adjusted for other activity types Blue = Attended Whoever is checked off gets credit.
Record Attendance Screen – Duplicates - NOT If a user is eligible for multiple types of credit, there will be a row per credit type for that user. This is normal. It is not a bug.

Troubleshooting - Basics User credit eligibility vs. what activity awards? Outside time window? Is no credit awarded if not approved checked? Is no credit till evaluation completed checked? Transpositions \ user errors Delays in SMS response No service
Troubleshooting - Basics URGENT – I wiped out all my credits on Record Attendance. Look at selected date Did the course date change? Did you perform select all unselect and then save when you meant to record just one person
Troubleshooting - Basics “My activity only awards 10 credits but users are receiving 18 credits when they complete the evaluation form?” If you are using multiple sessions, the system will sum all the session hour values together.
Troubleshooting - Basics “I went to evaluations and my evaluation is not displaying” If an evaluation is assigned to an activity, it will only be available if you are registered and your attendance has been recorded.
Troubleshooting - Basics “I am testing my program, in advance. I recorded my attendance and completed the evaluation, but no credit appears on transcript” The date ranges on the transcript have today’s date as the end date by default. If your activity happens in the future, adjust the end date.
