Aug 29 - Sept 2

The main project I worked on this week was Event Tracking. I'm currently trying to set up an Event Tracking system that many departments around APSU will use to track student events. It consists of an iPod touch in a housing that contains a bar code reader and magnetic strip reader. The students card will be scanned and later uploaded to a database on our servers. Once this is complete, the event creator will be able to pull reports of every event attended. It's actually a pretty complicated process. I'm simplifying it quite a bit. 

Other activities that I worked on last week included report creating for several faculty and fixed to the APSU phone directory. 

I'll continue working on the event tracking system next week.

  1. Jason,

    If you have any pull on the phone directory I would like to make a suggestion. I have offered it in the past and no one listens but I keep trying. Department names for the search box are obvious. Unless you have it right you get nothing. Often I want to find someone I know is in a particular department but I have forgotten there name. A department search would remind me but, again, unless I have the department name as listed in the directory I am out of luck, so to speak.

    All I would like to see is a dropdown box for entering department names. No biggy. Would make people's lives easier though. (At least mine!)
