  4. Who can give a pass?

    • All users with an account – except involvement operators, redemption operators, and viewers – can give and view passes from the website or manager app

  5. How do I make sure the student app can scan QR codes?

  6. Can I manage restrictions and exemptions?

  7. Can I set up times when hall passes are not available?

  8. What are the different ways to give a pass?

    • Staff can add from website and Manager App

    • Staff can add using their class rosters

    • Student signs out using Kiosk mode

    • Student scans a QR code from Student App

    • Student uses Self-add from Student App and/or School Webpage

  9. Can I schedule future passes?
    • Yes! This is a great tool for Athletic Early release or future appointments with a counselor.
    • Schedule Hall Passes
  10. What if a student doesn't have a phone?
    • The Student App is optional. Without a mobile device, they cannot scan hall pass QR codes or view the pass from their phone. Students are always eligible to receive a pass by any other method: manual add by staff member, kiosk mode, or self-add from the school webpage
    • Staff members with an account can view active passes from the Manager App if they need to verify a pass in the hall.

  11. Can I see who has a pass in my class vs. the entire school?

    • Yes! From the add page, you can view your passes only
    • The Active tab will show ALL passes across campus and you can filter by 'My Passes'
  12. What happens if a student stays out after the designated time limit is up?
    • For the pass to 'extend' and show as expired, you will need to add a 'Close after' time in the pass setting. Ex) The pass is valid for 5 min and the close after setting is 30 minutes -- if a student does not return within the 5 minutes, the pass will turn red and the clock starts counting up (for up to 30 min). The student can close the pass once they have returned to document the exact amount of time they were out.
    • If there is an active limit, the expired pass will continue to take up a pass until it is closed

  13. What reports are available?
