Hey all, I'm trying to find a web based, simple to use, sign in/sign out style for the student laptop carts. How are some members here tracking cart usage?



We want to be able to see the history of which teacher 'borrowed' the cart on what day (log) along with being able to reserve.

We use phpscheduleit. (Open source, easy to install) It's flexible enough to allow 'mod' based scheduling which is ideal for us.

@npynenberg Thanks for the link! I just downloaded and will be trying this out. I'm guessing the $10 mentioned on their site is for the hosting? Otherwise, its free?


We self host, and haven't paid a dime.


@npynenberg Thanks! Got it installed and almost running. Are you using AD authentication?


We are not, I planned to implement that this summer.


I was curious about this as well.... what about using something like Exchange Outlook Calendar in the same way one could book a conference room?



is there any tracking purposes there? it should block out the cart for that period of time?


@npynenberg Reason I asked is because I had an issue with AD integration but got it working now.



@raquel It may work under certain scenarios (mail room) but I have almost 200 carts across 9 schools. I found Booked Scheduler fits my need perfectly.


Good to know Johnny.Kim. If I have any issues I know who to call! :-)


@npynenberg Feel free to hit me up! And thanks again!
