Support Note

The Point of Sale Device Management module does not support districts on the Direct to School model.

Introduction

Managing POS devices just got easier. District users and school administrators can now assign and pair devices directly, without needing help from KEV support or implementation teams. This feature empowers users to efficiently handle device management within their Districts, streamlining the setup process.
