17.1 Gym Entry Notification

The full version of Gym Master comes with 'Popup', a notification programmes that displays members details as they check into the gym. This runs in the background and brings the members details up on the screen as they come into the gym.

• The popup programme is a seperate application, when you install gymmaster an icon for this is created on your desktop. Whenever you turn on your computer you should start up gymmaster popup. A little icon for this will appear in the system tray.
• If you use the smart cards, presenting the card should bring up the members details straight away.
• If you are using a keyboard wedge barcode reader, you need to be in the members or entry visitor log windows in gymmaster before it will work. This is because when you present a barcode, it types in automatically the barcode number and this only works from within GymMaster.
• If you get garbage on the screen when people present their cards then you can fix this by editing your popup configuration file from the ``General Configuration'' then ``Edit Config Files'', followed by ``popup''. Change the option ``transenabled=true'' to ``transenabled=false'' and ``fadingenabled=true'' to ``fadingenabled=false''.
• If you play music for the gym though the computer that is running popup, you can disable the sound effects on entry by changing the option ``soundenabled=true'' to ``soundenabled=false''. You also need to do this if you do not have a sound card installed in your computer.
