Easy Synchronizing

The PDA Sync Manager allows you to easily select the Administrator’s Plus data you want on your PDA. At the end of the day, users can return their devices to the cradle and watch as their handheld is automatically updated with new data. Easy to setup "profiles" allow for this process to be possible.

Student and Staff Database

Choose any of Administrator's Plus’ database fields to transfer to your Windows®* or Palm®* PDA device. (Please refer to Data Base Plus for details about the wide array of fields available to choose from.)

Schedules

View schedules on PDAs in line or grid format. As an especially useful security feature, the grid schedule automatically highlights the class the student should be in during the current period. If you need more information about that course, simply select the highlighted block to display course details.

Discipline

Discipline incidents appear on the Pocket PC® & Palm® powered devices the same way they appear when viewing incidents in Administrator's Plus. Simply select an incident to view detailed information about that infraction. Screenshot: Access discipline data on PDAs from anywhere on campus.

NEW: The module also allows you to enter information about disciplinary infractions directly into PDAs on the scene of incidents. Enter new incidents into a PDA using the same screen you use when entering incidents into Administrator's Plus. Incidents appear with a “P” in the student's incident list to indicate that this is a pending entry. At the end of the day, discipline information can be synced back to Administrator's Plus and saved in the involved students’ records. Screenshot: Enter incident details onto a PDA
