How to run A10dee at your center

Setup and daily how-to for staff.

Start here

• Start a 15-day trial on the home page (email + center name). No credit card until the trial ends. Check your inbox for the login link.
• Sign in with email or Google. You’ll land on Today with a short Getting started checklist (it goes away after you import your roster, on every browser).
• Add a student, then open Door kiosk on the tablet. They use Find your name at the top, tap, and confirm. First action of the day is check-in; later is check-out.

Add students

• Open Students. Type a name and tap Add. ID and 1 vs 2 subjects are optional. They can check in at the door immediately.
• Starting with a spreadsheet? Import a roster: CSV template, or K-SIS Report B (best for 1 vs 2 subjects → 30/60 min) or a Student Report. Re-import updates by Student ID.
• Deactivate removes a student from the active roster (and print cards) without deleting attendance history. Reactivate brings them back.
• Scan cards are optional. Students use Find your name at the top of the door tablet. On a roster row, Print 1 opens that one person. On Print labels, Only this does the same. You can also print Avery labels (48860 or 5160 mailing, wide 5161, address 5162, shipping 5163) or a DYMO roll.
• Folder cards: Landscape, Letter, Margins: None, Headers and footers off, Scale 100%, Background graphics on (that prints the green header and border). Avery labels use Portrait with the same margin settings. DYMO prints from this computer with DYMO Connect open (default roll 30321).
• Use Edit on a roster row to fix name, ID, subjects (1 or 2), expected days (Mon–Sun), or deactivate. Scan codes stay stable unless you choose New scan code.
• Optional parent email on a student does not email anyone until you turn check-in or check-out mail on in Settings. Parents do not get a login. Family booking and live time left are on Schedulo (schedulo.ca) — same team. Pick one product.

Door kiosk (students)

Many centres only need a tablet. Find your name sits at the top of Door kiosk — students tap and confirm — live the same afternoon, no NFC fob kit in the mail. Printed QR cards are optional (camera sits under the name search). No USB scanner required.

• Sign in on the tablet → open Door kiosk. Leave that tab open. Set a staff PIN in Settings → Door so Exit and Settings ask for it. On iPad use Guided Access; on Android (including Samsung) use screen pinning / Pin app / Pin windows with a device PIN to unpin — so nobody leaves the page.
• Students use Find your name at the top — type a few letters, tap the name, and confirm. First action of the day is check-in; later is check-out.
• If door mode includes QR, the camera sits under the name search on the same screen. Print QR cards from Students → Print labels if you want them.
• If something fails at the door, use Today → Check in a student (search any roster name, then Check in now or Check in at a set time), or open Check-in List — a full-screen desk tablet with today’s expected list, walk-ins, and Check in / Check out (same attendance as the door; Exit returns to the menu).
• On Today, each still-in row has a check-out time box. Pick the real time and Save checkout, or Check out now. If nobody saves an out time, we check them out automatically at the end of their visit.
• Expected students who have not arrived show on Today (Expected · not in) and on Check-in List as a shortcut. Tap Check in, then Check in now or Check in at a set time (pick the date for a past day). You can also use Check in a student on Today, or Add a visit manually.
• Wrong folder or accidental scan? On Today tap Clear visit (still in or checked out today), confirm, and that visit drops off reports so they can scan in again.
• Settings → Door can hide the Check-in List tab if you only want the door kiosk.

Room display

Open Room display on a screen so staff can see who is in. There is no side menu — leave the tab full-screen. Staff use another device (or type /app) to get back to Today. Rows turn yellow near the expected visit end and red if someone stays past it (default 30 minutes). Names shrink to fit; if the list is still too large, the TV rotates still pages. In Settings → Room display you can set how many names pack on one page (12–48, default 48) and seconds per page.

Reports

Open Reports — it loads this month automatically. Summary cards show visits, average length, checkout completion, and roster coverage for the range, plus a per-student table. Use Today / This week / This month / This year, or pick dates, then download CSV or PDF. Visit rows include how checkout was recorded. Set Expected days on each student so Today shows who is due but not in yet. For a full year, use Month by month.
