benchmark

Let’s first start with Dropbox. Dropbox is a system that allows users to share files on their desktops with each other without emailing files back and forth. Also allows users to share files between computers (such as your home computer, work computer, cell phone, etc.)Person keeping attendance (see job descriptions, and roles/responsibilities template in your work plans) should visit Dropbox.com to sign up (it’s free), and download the tool.

Once you download the Dropbox tool, it will appear on your desktop.

The designated individual will receive an e-mail through Dropbox (initiated by David McAuley, BASB) instructing them that David wants to share a folder with them. This folder will be named along the lines of “Tenacity Attendance,” “IBA Attendance,” “Hale Reservation Attendance” etc.

Designated individual will click on invitation link (circled in red) and be directed to Dropbox website.

At Dropbox web site, sign in.

Once signed in, accept the shared invitation.

….and you will officially have the file in your Dropbox on your desktop (see notifications circled in red)

Now go back to your desktop icon, and the shared file will be in there. The designated individual and David McAuley now share the file on their desktops.

Open the Dropbox folder on your desktop, & the shared file will be in there. The designated individual and David McAuley now share the file on their desktops.

Save the attendance tracker to the same Dropbox folder as you update it over summer.

• Why are we using Dropbox?– Benefits:

• you and BASB/BPS have access to the same file; don’t have to e-mail back and forth.

• When you update, BASB/BPS see it. • BASB/BPS can monitor attendance in real time. • Utility: You can update on desktop even w/o internet access.

When you get back to internet access, the file will automatically update when your computer reaches a server.

– Downside: BASB/BPS and you can’t be in same file at same time, so BASB/BPS won’t enter file during weekdays during normal working hours to ensure we don’t corrupt the file. BASB/BPS will attempt to designate a time each week when we go into file to check (Monday at 5:30 pm, for example). BASB/BPS will announce this.
