Scanner Stations
Scanner stations create scans for runner cards on Tracks. In the real world, scanner stations are usually laptops with barcode scanners and special software.
The scanner stations in the runner system are used to register the “real” scanner stations and assign them to a track. This part of the documentation only deals with the scanner stations in the runner system!
Creating
To create a new scanner station, open the Scanner Stations
page in the runner system.
You can create a new scanner station by clicking the Create Station
button.
You must assign the station to a track and you can give the station a description and deactivate it.
When you are done, simply click the Create
button.
After the scanner station has been created in the system, you will be shown its token.
This token is only displayed once and cannot be changed - so keep it safe!
You can click on the token or the copy button to copy the token to your clipboard.
Once you have securely saved the token, you can close the dialog by clicking the Yes, I have copied the token
button.
Editing
To edit a scanner station, click the Details
button for the desired scanner station in the scanner station overview.
In the overview for this scanner station, you can now change the track and description of the scanner station and (de)activate it.
When you are done, simply click Save changes
.
Deleting
You can delete a scanner station either from the scanner station overview or from the scanner station detail view.
In the Scanner Station Overview
Click the Delete
button for the desired scanner station.
You will then be asked if you really want to delete the scanner station or cancel.
In the Scanner Station Detail View
Click the Details
button for the desired scanner station.
At the top of the page, there is now a Delete Station

You will then be asked if you really want to delete the scanner station or cancel.
Scanner Station with Scans
If the scanner station still has associated scans, a warning will appear again after confirming the deletion. Here you must confirm the deletion including all scans again, or you can cancel.
