Set the current semester
From the Clover Admin Menu select 'Set the current semester.' Select the department you are setting from the drop-down list and click 'Go!' You will see the current semester listed. To change the semester, select the class session (Spring, Summer or Fall) and year from the drop-down list. Then click 'Set Current Semester.' You will receive confirmation of the change.

Upload Photos
In order to use the Customer Comment Card, you'll need to upload photos of your students. Photos are used instead of names to protect the privacy of students working in labs. If you prefer to have your students' names listed, you may put their names on their photos.

First you'll need to get digital photos of each of your students. A good size for these is a width of 100 or 150. This way the photos will fit correctly on the screen. If you need to resize your photos, you may use the Automatic Thumbnail Creator

Once you have the photos saved on your computer, select 'Upload Photos' from the Clover Admin menu. Select the department the student is in from the drop-down list and click 'Go!' Select the name of the student from the drop-down list, then click 'Browse...' This will allow you to browse your computer for the image file you have saved. Once you have selected the photo, click 'Upload Photo.' You will receive confirmation that your photo was uploaded.

Remove Photos
This feature is useful if a student is still an active worker, but they don't need to be listed on the Customer Comment Card anymore. To remove a photo, select 'Remove Photos' from the Clover Admin Menu. Select the department from the drop-down list and click 'Go!' Select the name of the student from the drop-down list and click 'Remove Photo.' You will receive confirmation that the photo has been removed.
