A new Kiosk template feature in REACH allows you to set your Kiosk screen to display any late students at the top of your Kiosk screen for rapid and simple identification of students that are late to return from off campus leave events.



Monitoring late students is one of the most important features of the REACH Kiosk screen and now we have made that even easier with the Kiosk Late template.

The Kiosk Late template is a preconfigured Kiosk template that places late students at the top of your Kiosk screen display so that they are highlighted and easily identified for you.

To activate your Kiosk Late template simply go to the icons at the top right of your Kiosk Screen and select the Templates icon.  When you set the Kiosk Late template for your Kiosk view, REACH will remeber this setting are part of your user preferences and the Kiosk Late template will become your default view whenever you open your Kiosk view.
