CardSwipr helps you take attendance at meetings and events. Attendees swipe in with this easy interface, the application looks them up in the Yale Phonebook, and collects their information in a list. When the event's over you can even download a spreadsheet (.csv) output of the attendees' information.
CardSwipr can quickly tell you about a person after they swipe their card. It can both take you to a person's Yale Phonebook entry and open a Service Now Incident with their name already filled out. This feature is used in some Walk-In Computing Support centers around campus.
In the same box, users can input any of the following "unique identifying information".
- USB Magstrip Reader (registers as keyboard input)
- USB Barcode Scanner (registers as keyboard input)
- Keyboard
- NetID
- Yale Email
- UPI
NOTE: the input field should be kept focused so the input generated by the reader will directly entered into it.
You'll get the following information about your attendees upon swipe-in:
- First Name, Nickname, Last Name
- Yale Email Address
- Phone Number
- NetID
- UPI
You can also get more information by following the link to the Yale Directory.
