Class QuickCards for Roster Server Users
If your organization is using the Roster Server, the designated ClassLink Administrators may generate and print QuickCards for any rostered class. This functionality has been added to the Classes section of the Roster Server module in the ClassLink Management Console.
Teachers may also print the QuickCards for their own rostered classes using the Class QuickCard app.

Facial Recognition is a form of biometric identification that scans your face to instant login a user hassle-free. It is a hands-free method that uses consistent algorithms to detect each facial structure and compares it to the images stored in the database.
