Equipment Loan System

This system records the loan of Unoesc's laptops, tablets and power strips: who took each device, when they declared it returned, and when the front desk confirmed receiving it.

About this translation

The system's interface is only available in Portuguese, and so are all the screenshots in this wiki. Whenever these pages name a button or a field, the real Portuguese label comes in bold and the English meaning follows in parentheses — for example, click Devolver (Return). Look for the Portuguese word on screen.

Every label is listed in one place, in the interface glossary.

Where to start

• I am a student or a teacher

  You use the tablet at the front desk to pick up and return equipment.

  The tablet in 5 minutes →

• I work at the front desk

  You use the admin panel to check returns in and to look after the inventory and the people records.

  The admin panel in 10 minutes →

The two tracks are independent. People working at the tablet never need to open an admin panel page, and the other way round as well.

Shortcuts

At the tablet

• Pick up equipment
• Return equipment
• I returned it and the device still shows as mine
• The enrollment number was not found

In the admin panel

• Check returned devices in
• Register equipment and manage the inventory
• Import the people spreadsheet
• Sign in, sign out, change your password

What else is here

• Reference — the glossary, the interface glossary, the two state machines and the business rules behind the way the screens behave.
• About — the system architecture and how this wiki was made.
• Contributing — the style guide and the process template, for whoever writes a new page. These two are in Portuguese.

The version this wiki describes

This wiki describes version v1.0 of the system

If the screen in front of you has a button no page here mentions, check the version selector at the top: v1.0 is the frozen state this wiki documents, and newer versions are published next to it.

Where to ask for help

At the tablet, the front desk is who solves it — an enrollment number that will not go through, an inactive record, a device missing from the list, all need somebody with the admin panel open. The error table of each process says what to do before you leave the counter: pickup and return.

In the admin panel, start with the Reference pages: most of what looks like a defect is a deliberate business rule, and it is explained there. A forgotten password has a procedure of its own and is not solved from the screen.

If the system really is wrong — the screen contradicts this wiki, or this wiki is out of date — the place to report it is the project repository.
