In JSU Navigate, any laptop, desktop, or tablet can be used as a Kiosk when a user with the correct permissions logs in to the Platform and selects “Kiosk Mode” from a menu. This allows self-service check-in to advising appointments, tutoring appointments, study hall, and any other service locations or facilities for which a kiosk has been set up. For example, some departments use card readers to track computer usage in a center.
Card Readers provide a more efficient way to check students in for advising appointments, tutoring appointments, study hall, and any other location the JSU Navigate platform is used in “Kiosk Mode.” Departments find these extremely valuable when there is a high volume of appointments or walk-ins, where the card readers are a faster way to check students in compared to students manually entering their ID numbers. Card Readers are also very beneficial in aiding in the control of traffic for student event check-ins and check-outs. Since the card readers connect via USB, the device you are planning to use them with must have a USB port as well. This applies to laptops, desktops, and tablets.
Kiosk Feature Overview
Kiosks enable self-service check-in to scheduled and drop-in appointments, the ability to check into and out of study hall, and any other student services for which the kiosk functionalities are active.
There are four main ways kiosks interact with students:
To record a visit
To track time (e.g., for study hall or any other appointment where time needs to be tracked)
To check in a student for a scheduled appointment
To make a drop-in appointment with either a specific staff member OR the first available staff member

Appointment/Visit Reports
Use the JSU Navigate Check-Ins Report.
This report covers the number of check-ins at your location for a selected period. You can use this report to pull the number of check-ins at your location and compare it to the number of appointments you have (using the Appointment Report to find that information). You can use it at a location that has multiple services to see which services are the most used. You can also use the filters to narrow these use cases to a sub-population of students.
Use the JSU Navigate Appointments Report.
This gives you an overview of appointment data for your selected time frame. When run, it shows every appointment held at your location, the time and duration of the report, the staff and student in the report, reasons for the appointment and other detailed data. Because this report is so exhaustive in detail, it is critical to narrow your details to get useful information. For example, this is the report to use if you want to see the names and dates of all freshmen who received course planning advice at your location. Likewise, if your location tutors student-athletes, use the filters so that you can see the full list of tutoring appointments.
Use the JSU Navigate Appointments Report and filter by Location and Service to select a specific Event.

Use the JSU Navigate Study Hall Report and filter by Care Unit, Location, or specific student group.
The Study Hall Report aggregates information about student completion of study hall hours. A single row in the report represents a single student with a check-in for study hall in the chosen term.
Ths report will provide answers to the following questions:
For students with required study hall hours, how many minutes have they completed for the chosen date range? How many minutes of time do they have remaining to complete?
Which students have study hall hours remaining to be completed in the chosen date range?
Analytic Dashboards
The Activity Dashboard shows key metrics related to activities (appointments and communication) staff take with students.
This dashboard has a location filter so you can get a summary-level snapshot of activity at your location. Other filters let you narrow down and see information like how many reports have an Appointment Summary report filed, the Care Unit attached to the appointment (use the filter Appointment Type) and so forth.
Activity Reports dive deep into the metrics shown in the Activity Dashboard. It breaks down activity over six sub-reports: Appointments Overview, Attendances by Day, Attendances by Moth, Attendances by Reason, Attendance by Location, and Attendances by Organizer. Scheduled, Drop-In, No-Show, and Canceled all count as categories of student attendance, so total appointment and attendance numbers include No-Show and Canceled appointments.
On this dashboard, you will start by using the Location filter to narrow your location. You then get a list of staff who have had appointments at your location. Using the tabs of this report, you can find the number of students staff have met with, whether the appointment was scheduled or drop-in, the Student Services used at your location, and so forth. This can be used both at the end of a term or during a term to find information about utilization.
