The Gatekeeper is designed to keep track of students, staff and visitors. It provides the functionality to allow different types of users to sign in and out of the school. The school is able to set which reasons require acceptance by a nominated management console. The below link is to a Power-point slideshow highlighting the features of Gatekeeper.
