ARTICLE: Curfews for Locations and Quick Leave


Availability and Return Curfews can be created for your Locations and related Quick Leave events that will determine

  1.  When the Location becomes available to students to sign out to each day (called availability curfews), and

  2. The latest return time allowable for Quick Leave sing outs to a location (called return curfews).


Availability Curfews (From)

Availability Curfews for locations can be used to restrict when a location becomes available for a student to sign out to. These are time base curfews that determine if a location is displayed or not for students in their kiosk view for sign out.

Return Curfews (Until)

Return Curfews can be used to set a "latest" approved return time that will override any preset permitted time set for your Quick Leave location settings.  Students signing out to Quick Leave locations that have a curfew applied will have their return time limited to the curfew time when they sing out to a Quick Leave location.


How Curfews work in REACH

Consider a Local Shopping Centre location with the following settings;
     -  Quick Leave details have been set allowing for a default return time of 60 minutes
     -  Availability Curfew set for 3:45 PM each day
     -  Return Curfew set for 5:30 PM each day

Transactions possible then are;

1.  Student arrives to SISO at 3.40 PM  
Time is before Availability Curfew - Student cannot see the location and is unable to sign out to the location.

2.  Student arrives to SISO at 4:15 PM
Location is available - Student can sign out to the location and they are allocated 60 minutes at the location .... ie Return time = 5:15 PM

3.  Student arrives to SISO at 4:40 PM
Location is available - Student can sign out to the location however the Return Curfew overrides default time. Student in not signed out for 50 minutes only to meet the Return Curfew time.


How to Set Curfews

Curfews can be set for any of your locations in REACH.  The procedure for implementing Curfews is a two step process

  1.   Create the curfew profile   
  2.   Apply the curfew to your location

Important Features About Curfews

  • You can create and maintain as many curfew profiles as you want.  
  • Curfews can control when any location is available for sign out and also the latest pre-approved return time for the location.
  • You can create unlimited numbers of Curfews in your REACH portal.
  • You can apply more than one Curfew to any individual Location.
  • Curfews are not applied to Leave Requests because these are manually approved by staff in most instances and any relevant curfews can be managed as part of the leave approval procedure.
