Resources
Resources are items that may be checked in and out of your Center(s) and lent to students or staff. The borrowing of resources at your center(s) can be tracked, recorded, and the data collected can be displayed through Reports. Resources can be utilized in many ways, but common examples include Laptops, Calculators, or Books that users can reserve, checkout, and return.
To begin creating a resource, go to Other > Resources > Resources > Hamburger menu > New Resource. Custom fields can also be added to this page.
- BarCode is the unique identifier for this item. Can be used to log resources in and out via a barcode scanner or swipe system, in addition to manually entering the value.
- Title is the name of this resource.
- Profile is the linked Profile for this resource.
- Checked Out To shows which user currently has this item checked out (if applicable).
- Collateral will store the collateral item collected due to the option below being enabled. This should be left blank when creating a new resource, as it will be automatically filled in when the item is checked out and collateral is collected.
- Collateral Logic enables Collateral functionality if checked. This will ask the staff member logging the resource in/out whether or not collateral has been gathered/returned.
- Reserved For shows who currently has this resource reserved.
- Always Available indicates that this resource doesn't need to be individually checked out or reserved, multiple users can check out the same resource at any time.
- Reserved Date, Last Date Out, and Due Date display the exact times of reservations, checkouts, and when the resource is due to be returned.
- Resource Type allows you to categorize this resource into a type for reporting purposes, or to restrict certain students from accessing this resource.
- Length of Checkout determines how long an item can be checked out for before an overdue notification is sent.
- Arbitrary Due Date allows the staff member checking out the item to choose a due date during checkout.
- Due by end of semester will be based on your current semester end date. If chosen, a new field will appear to add a buffer before the end of the semester (i.e., to require the item be returned X days before semester end.)
- Days / Hours / Mins will automatically set a due date based on the amount of time specified. If chosen, a new field will appear to set the maximum of number of times the checkout can be renewed.
- Not Available to Students / Staff allows you to restrict this resource to one user type or the other. By default (both unchecked), the item is available to either user type.
- Description is an internal description of this particular resource.
- Keywords are the related words for this resource, delimited by commas or semicolons. For example, if you have a Laptop as an available resource, you may want to create keywords like "Computer, PC, Macbook" to make this resource easier to search for.
- Pickup/Return Instructions can be entered and displayed in resource confirmation/return reminder emails as a twig tag.
Resource Types can be used to group resources together for the purpose of reporting or to block certain students from accessing certain resources. These can be managed by going to Other > Resources > Resource Types. Click the hamburger menu > New Resource Type to begin creating a new type.
After creating a new resource type or clicking on an existing one, you will find the following options.
- Resource Type Name
- The type/category for your resources.
- The type/category for your resources.
- Resource Type Description
- Information about this resource type.
- Information about this resource type.
- Linked to Profile
- Allows you to link this Resource Type for use in a specific profile.
- Allows you to link this Resource Type for use in a specific profile.
- Allowed Student List
- Allows you to only allow students on this list to checkout this resource, blocking everyone else. If left blank, anyone can checkout this resource (assuming they aren't blocked from resource usage entirely).
- Allows you to only allow students on this list to checkout this resource, blocking everyone else. If left blank, anyone can checkout this resource (assuming they aren't blocked from resource usage entirely).
- Display Notice and Require Initials when Checking Out Resources of this Type
- If enabled, a prompt will appear during checkout requiring that the user agree to terms and conditions before continuing. Terms can be entered in the Logout Notice to Student field (Twig supported), and a copy of the terms can be automatically forwarded to the student by checking Send Terms and Conditions as Email to Recipient.
There are a couple settings of note within your permission group(s) relating to Resources.
Other > Other Options > Groups > [Your Group] > Log In/Out
- Allow user to log resources in and out provides users in this group the ability to record resource usage.
- Allow user to view what resource the student has logged out provides users in this group the ability to view a student's currently logged out item.
Other > Other Options > Groups > [Your Group] > Admin/Modules
- Table Access provides access to the Other > Resources view of resources. You can also assign Resource Types here to allow this group to view and edit these as well.
After creating your resource and updating your groups, you're ready to start checking out resources. This option can be found by going to Other > Log Resource.
You will then be brought to the following screen with two text entry areas available. The first is where you select a resource (searching by Barcode, Title, or Keywords), the second allows you to select a student or staff member. Once one or both fields are selected, additional options become available to check out, return, or reserve this item. The button can be used to full-screen the resource checkout pop-up, allowing you to leave it open to continuously checkout and return items.
In the event that Collateral Logic is being utilized, more options will be required in regards to collecting/returning the collateral item before and after checkout.
Students can be allowed to reserve resources from their dashboard if configured in global preferences. To enable this functionality, go to Other > Other Options > Preferences > System Preferences > Resource Management.
- Choose to Block Students on List
- Show resources widget on the student dashboard
- Allow students to reserve a resource via the dashboard

Resource emails can be customized to inform students of the due date of their checked-out resource, or if the resource is overdue. These options are part of your profile preferences, in Other > Other Options > Profiles > [Your Profile] > Prefs > Emails > Resource Checkout Emails.
Similar to your other Profile Emails, you can write a subject line and body of your email, an additional SMS text, and choose when this email is sent.

Emails
There are various Profile-specific emails that can be configured in TracCloud. Most are sent automatically, such as Confirmations and Reminders, while some are sent manually, like Visit Notes. This article will provide an overview of these email types, what they do, and how they can be customized for your use-case.
Other > Other Options > Profiles > [Your Profile] > Prefs > Emails.
References:
- Twig
- Twig and Twig Tags are used extensively throughout emails. This includes simple elements, like using {{Student.First_Name}} to display a student's first name dynamically, to more advanced logic determining exactly what text is included in each email. This article will be referencing Twig, but will not being going into detail. For more information on this topic, take a look at our dedicated Twig Guide.
- In the top right corner of your 'Emails' menu is an 'Email Tags' list. This provides quick access to all of your available tags for these emails, which can also be clicked and dragged into text fields to populate them automatically.

- Previewing Emails
- Every email in this menu has a Preview button to see how your email will display when it's sent. It is required to preview emails before saving any changes. The preview will show the most recent record of that time in the system by default, you can specify a different record to use as an example by clicking the "Sequence #" button the preview window.

Select an email type below to learn more.
Confirmation Emails are sent to Students, Consultants, and an optional third address when an appointment is booked. Consultants and Students can receive unique versions of this email, depending on the information required for either party. You can also decide whether the email is sent the moment the appointment is booked, later in the night, or at a specific time in the morning.

- This option will send a copy of this email to your Profile email address if available.

- Allows you to independently disable the Consultant confirmation email, if they're more likely to rely on other resources to see their appointments for the day.
- Send Additional Email on New Appointment
- This allows you to enable one more Confirmation email to be sent to the email address defined below.
- Additional confirmation email address
- In the example above, we're using a Custom Field in the student's profile that contains their Assigned Advisor's email address. We can also choose to have a static email address in this field instead.
- Additional confirmation email subject
- Just like the standard Confirmation emails, we can write out our custom subject line...
- Additional confirmation email
- ...and the email body itself.
Reminder Emails are sent to Students and Consultants to remind them of upcoming appointments. Just like confirmations, this can be configured separately for students and consultants. You can set the exact time reminder emails are sent each day, either the night before or a custom time in the morning. Reminders can also be disabled for students, consultants, or both.

- Send Missed Appointment Emails
- Disable, or choose when this email is sent.

- When this process runs, it will automatically change the appointment status if there's no corresponding visit record. This setting determines what status the appointment is set to, which will typically be the same as your Profile 'Status for missed' definition.
- within x Minutes before/after appointment time
- A time buffer can be assigned here to determine when an appointment should be counted as 'Missed' if there's a Visit record in close proximity. For example, if a student has a 9:00am Appointment, but they started their Visit at 9:05am, we probably shouldn't mark this Appointment as missed, but if the Student is 25-minutes late, maybe that does qualify as a 'Miss' for your campus. 30-minutes in both fields is what most campuses tend to start with.
