Description: Scan barcodes on backs of ID cards of people passing through checkpoint or barcodes placed at checkpoints for scanning while doing rounds, log anything suspicious in addition to date time at checkpoint. Keeps rolling description of Task. Logs DateTime that Record was scanned or input. Displays a description if found, including any special instructions. Provides a field to log any notes.

Note: F8 will start a new task, as will Func-Right, Func-Down (last record, next record)
When not starting a new task, the user will only be asked for entry in the Record and Notes fields.

Record could be anything from barcodes posted at each walkthough checkpoint scanned in as the guard reaches the checkpoint, to the recording the barcodes on the back of the id of each person passing the front gate, or the license plate of each vehicle in the parking lot.
