KinderSign Tablet App questions
How do I register my tablet?
You will need to scan two QR codes. You can find them underneath the reports menu option. Click on reports in the blue menu that runs across the top of the screen. From the drop-down menu that appears click on reports again. This will bring you to a page with a drop-down menu. The first QR code you need to scan is the KinderSign Tablet registration form. Select the report from the drop-down menu and then click view. You should be asked to open or download and save the report. Whether you choose to open the report or save it, the report will appear and you should see the QR code. Scan it with the camera on the tablet. It should beep and take you back to the scan page.
Now we need to scan the second QR code. You can find that in the report titled Provider Mobile sign in sheet. Select the report from the drop-down menu and then click view. You should be asked to open or download and save the report. Whether you choose to open the report or save it, the report will appear, and you should see the QR code. Scan it with the camera on the tablet. It should beep and take you to a page that looks like a phone’s number pad. If you see the number pad you have successfully registered your tablet.
