Student Distributions

Quick Entry allows you to perform student distributions.  The Student Distributions data type is designed to quickly distribute large quantities of materials to students. 

Quick Entry works best when using bar codes and a scanner (such as a Symbol LS2208 or Socket CHS 7ci scanner).  This allows data to be read quickly and accurately.  As records are scanned, they are displayed on screen for verification purposes.  Receipt(s) can be printed as soon as a collection has been made.

Each distribution requires an ID number, ISBN, and accession number.  Remember Data Fields options are available for this data type.
