FitnessTrac may track multiple locations or sub-centers and may report on them individually. In order to setup FitnessTrac to track multiple centers, certain settings must be altered in FitnessTrac's Preferences. For more information on setting up multiple centers, consult the User Guide.
Found on page five of the Preferences, enter the names of the various centers or locations in the Available Centers field. Separate each center name by pressing the return (or enter) key after each center's name. Try to limit the center names in length and use hyphens or underscores for spaces.
FitnessTrac can ask or not ask which center students are visiting. To ask which center the student is entering, check the box entitled 'Ask Center on Login' in the Preferences. As students log in, FitnessTrac will then ask the students to choose a center for their visit.
FitnessTrac may log students into a chosen center based upon the login account that is logged into FitnessTrac. Link a login account to a center, and when students log into a center, it is chosen for them. In cases where there is only one center, this preference is irrelevant.
Students login to the center through Administrator or Student Worker accounts. Students may log themselves into the center if a computer is set up to do so through a Student Worker account.
Administrator and Student Worker accounts are created from the Main Menu; click 'Create New: Administrator'. Two fields in the Admin Entry screen link logins from the account to a center: 'Log to Terminal' and 'Show Logins from Terminal'.
'Log to Terminal' controls which center students are logged into, when logged in through this account. If 'Ask Center Name on Login' is checked, students are asked to choose a center and this overrides the 'Log to Terminal' field of the account.
'Show Logins from Terminal' controls the list of students diplayed in the Log Listing. Leave the field blank or type ALL for the Log Listing to display students logged into all centers. Type the center name for the Log Listing to display students logged into that one center. Type NONE for the Log Listing to not display any students logged into any center.
Administrators typically log students into the center that they are located, but may see students in the other center in the Log Listing screen. In their user entry screen, type the center name (as it is found in Available Centers on page five of the Preferences) in the 'Log to Terminal' field. Then in the 'Show Logins from Terminal' field, type ALL.
As this administrator logs students in, the students are automatically logged into the center linked to the administrator. When the administrator views the Log Listing, students in all centers are displayed.
Student Workers, or Front Desk Workers, typically log students into the center they are located at, and only see the students in their center in the Log Listing screen. In their user entry screen, type the center name in both the 'Log to Terminal' and 'Show Logins from Terminal' fields.
A special Student Worker account is created for students to log themselves into the center. This is called a Kiosk machine. In the user entry screen for this account, type the center name associated with the Kiosk machine in the 'Log to Terminal' field and type NONE in the 'Show Logins from Terminal' field. This allows the Kiosk machine to log students into a particular center without showing who is in the center at this time. See FAQ01-0016 for more information on setting up a Kiosk machine.
