Barcode Check-In
Barcode identification has been added to the check-in system. This completes the different authentication methods available to the check-in system & is selected in Kiosk setup (Setup > Default Settings > Kiosk Setup).
Instead of pincode entry or username/password the kiosk waits for a client barcode to be scanned.
Any USB barcode scanner can be used.
Setting up client barcodes is easy. Any barcode can be used - a client may have a grocery card, library card etc they want to use, or you may have purchased a stack of pre-printed key fobs that contain unique barcodes. The system will not allow the use of a barcode that has already been assigned to a different client.
When a prospect/customer is added - you can scan in an existing barcode or if no existing barcodes are available, the system can generate one that you either use on your own cards or replace later when you have a keyfob available to scan in.
If you let the system generate a barcode then there is an option to include the generated barcode in the new customer welcome email - so the client can print it & use it.
Updating a barcode is easy - if the barcode option is on then a new option appears in customer options. This allows you to either scan in a new barcode, or to auto-generate a new one.
This completes all the check-in features. Multiple options for validation - whichever fits the club best, session validation - including signature sign-off, and advertising/communication on the check-in screen.
