| + | ===== Frequently Asked Questions ===== | ||
| + | ** Q: Does Code 1 have to be "Check In" and Code 2 "Check Out"? ** \\ | ||
| + | A: For devices with function keys, the code number does not matter. The system uses the Label (Caption) field to determine the T&A type. However, using Code 1 for "Check In" and Code 2 for "Check Out" is recommended for consistency. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ** Q: What does the system refer to - the Caption or the Code number? ** \\ | ||
| + | A: The system primarily refers to the Caption (Label) field, not the code number. The code number is an identifier, but the Caption determines the T&A function in the log. \\ | ||
