đĄ Adoption Tip: Most student request issues stem from missing Student IDs or exhausted pass balances. Check People > Manage People > Identities to ensure students have their official Student ID populated and have remaining passes allocated.
Student cannot request a Hall Pass
Missing Student Identity: Ensure the student has an active Student Identity and their Student ID number is populated in People > Manage People.
Zero remaining passes: Check if the student has exhausted their pass balance. Administrators can replenish passes manually under Manage People > Identities or verify that the recurring scheduled auto-reset is active in Hall Pass Settings.
Minimum time between passes enforced: If the site requires a minimum waiting period (e.g., 45 minutes between passes), students cannot request another pass until the timer clears.
Student Exclusion conflict: If another student in the same exclusion group is currently out on a pass, the system flags a conflict until the first student checks back in.
Device access: Confirm the student is signed in. If personal cell phones are prohibited, provide the school's Web Version link on their Chromebook.
Security PIN issues
PIN not set: Staff members can set their 4-digit PIN in the App Dashboard under Profile > Personal Data > Security PIN or directly in their mobile app profile settings.
Administrator override: Administrators can verify or update a staff member's PIN in their Person record under Site Management > Manage People.
SIS managed PINs: If PINs are populated via automated SIS sync, manual edits may be locked. Verify the correct PIN in the staff member's synced profile.
Passes marked expired or not checking in
Passes do not check in automatically: When a pass reaches its scheduled time limit, it transitions to Expired and remains expired until a staff member (or student, if PIN check-in is disabled) explicitly taps Check In.
Check-in blocked by PIN: If Need PIN for check in is turned on, students cannot check in on their own devices. A teacher or authorized staff member must physically enter their PIN to complete check-in.
Live pass monitor or counts not updating
Auto-refresh: The Issued Hall Passes tab automatically updates in real time. If a browser tab has been idle or in background sleep, perform a quick manual browser refresh to re-establish the live connection.
Exclusion group capacity limits: If a reason cannot be selected, the campus may have reached the maximum simultaneous capacity configured for that reason (e.g., 10 restroom passes active campus-wide).
Locating historical audit reports
