Gym Assistant is designed to allow members to check-in without requiring intervention from the front-desk staff. This is a feature we call “unattended check-in.”
A tone will indicate the member’s status (either OK or Not OK), and the member’s visit (either an “allowed” entry or a “denied” entry) will be recorded automatically.
GateKeeper is an add-on application (included with Gym Assistant) that works with Gym Assistant to handle barcode scans and background check-ins.
•When GateKeeper receives a barcode number from the scanner it searches the Gym Assistant membership database to find a match and then handles the check-in automatically.
•If Gym Assistant is displaying the main View Member Info window then that member’s information automatically appears to display the member’s check-in status.
•With GateKeeper you can monitor up to 8 scanners (called “access points”) independently.
•You can specify when the entrance is enabled, what members are allowed entry, and what actions to take when a card is scanned.
•In addition to barcode scanners, GateKeeper can also interface with numeric keypads, proximity card scanners, magnetic stripe (credit card) scanners and fingerprint scanners.
Note: GateKeeper will also manage Access Control (entry through an electrically operated door). Please see documentation for Access Control for access control installation and instructions.
