The GatherUp app is a simple iOS application developed by Purdue’s IMS (Information Management System) Team for the Department of International Programs at Purdue. This app was built for the department to easily track attendance at their events which they could later use for analytical purposes.

Main Features:
It makes use of an accessory (the UniMag Pro Magnetic Swipe Reader) which when plugged into the iOS device, can seamlessly capture students’ Purdue IDs and store them in a secure database
These identification numbers are sent to a secure database
To use this app, a username and password is required. Therefore, only authorized people can use it
For attendees of events who don’t have their ID, the app can be used to enter their name and email address
If a valid Purdue ID is swiped and successfully scanned by the Card Reader, the screen will flash green
If a person tries to register for an event more than once, the screen will flash yellow and display a message that says that the person has already registered
If the ID Card swiped is invalid, the screen will flash red
Once logged in, volunteers can only swipe students in and enter information of those without IDs; they CANNOT access any of the information entered on the app

The GatherUp app has been developed and exists for the sole use of the Department of International Programs at Purdue and their volunteers. For any bug fixes or additional features, feel free to contact the IMS Team at http://epics.ecn.purdue.edu/ims/.
