How long does it take to get running?
About an hour of work, most of it waiting for cards to print.
Signing up and getting your classes takes a few minutes, because you pick your school type and the class ladder appears on its own. Importing a roll of 500 students from a spreadsheet takes a few minutes more. The rest of the hour is printing cards.
You do not have to wait for every card before you begin — a student without one is found by name at the gate and let straight in.
