Checking transaction history
The Stanley ID Express Station™ System records all transac-
tions and system errors in a database that you can review 
using the view transaction report feature. You can do this to 
find out:
■ How often a kiosk is being used
■ Whether the card hopper is getting low
■ Troubleshoot an error that someone reports
Periodically checking the transaction history report is impor-
tant to do on a daily or weekly basis.
The following are the types of data that are collected:
■ Cancelled – a card transaction cancelled by the user before 
the transaction was completed. This occurs when the user 
presses the cancel button.
■ SystemError – internal software error.
■ RetriesExceeded – a transaction that a user tried that 
exceeded the number of attempts that are granted. For 
example, if a maximum of three tries are allowed, the 
fourth try will generate this error.
■ Succeeded – a transaction resulting in an encoded card.
■ Timeout – a transaction that a user tried that exceeded the 
amount of time allotted to complete the transaction.
