Registration:

Step 1: Open a database

Click New to create a new database or click Open to open an existing database. A database must be open to perform any other operation in TechStar. The database stores the entry information along with the barcodes associated with those entries.

Step 2: Add and Edit the database entries

Add the entries to the database by using the table to enter the first name, last name, number, and class of each entry. It is possible to import entries from a TechStar export, TechStar database, or other CSV file. 

Step 3: Add barcodes for each entry

After selecting an entry, the associated barcodes will be shown in the barcodes table. Add barcodes by using a scanner or manually typing them in. The type can be selected by using the adjacent drop down menu. If a duplicate barcode is entered, the background will turn red to indicate an error.

The background alternates colors to indicate a scan taken place. The Scan History table will show a record of all the scans.

Step 6: Export scan history
