Attention College Representatives:

If you exhibited at last evening’s Paulding County Probe Fair, you may have experienced a problem with scanning registered students, or you are not receiving all of the student data in your export.

This was due to a human error; the file of student registrants were not pushed to the app prior to the fair.

Probe will provide a list to exhibitors of all students pre-registered for the Paulding County Fair. These will be emailed to you.

You may also open the app and click Sync.

If you did not have cell service in the exhibit area last evening, the Ignite Capture app (Probe) will pick up any scans that were stored locally on your mobile device.
