Best practices for scanning with the Scanner App

Prepare your device, finish each session, and confirm every device has uploaded its scans.

Written by Brandon Trodick

Overview

For coaches and helpers who scan participant ID cards

Prepare your device before a session and confirm its scans have uploaded when you finish.

Before scanning

  • Keep your device software and the Scanner App up to date. See update instructions.

  • Charge your device and prepare participant ID cards.

  • Check that you have chosen the correct club, track, or activity.

  • Connect any helper devices before scanning begins. See how to add another device.

Finish every scanning session

  1. When your group finishes, select Stop.

  2. Select Finish And Sync.

  3. Wait for the Sync Complete! confirmation.

  4. Check that every helper device has also finished and synced its own scans.

Complete the finish-and-sync steps before leaving the live scanning screen. Do not assume that closing the app uploads your session.

Upload pending sessions when you reconnect

  1. Connect the device that recorded the scans to Wi-Fi or cellular data.

  2. Open See Log History.

  3. Find a session marked Pending and select Resubmit.

  4. Confirm that it changes to Uploaded.

Use the same device and, if you scanned while signed in, the same account. Keep the Scanner App installed while scans are pending.
