How to Enroll Fingerprint or Card on the Biometric Terminal

Enroll an employee's fingerprint or card/tag on a biometric time clock or access controller.

  1. First, create the employee in the web system.
  2. After creating the employee, assign them to the group linked to the time clock - the employee will then be registered on the terminal automatically (recommended). If no group is linked to the time clock, you can assign the employee without a group: go to Settings, then Time Clocks & Access Controllers, edit the terminal, choose the employee to assign to it, and save.
  3. To enroll a fingerprint for the employee, go into the time clock's menu, then Employee Management, then Employee List, select the employee, click Edit, then Fingerprint, and place the finger three times until you get a green checkmark.

Enrolling on the clock - step by step

Employees added in TimeClock 365 are uploaded to the clock automatically. To add their fingerprint, card or password on the clock:

  1. Press M/OK, select User Mgt. and press OK. To edit an existing employee, choose All Users, select the employee and choose Edit. (New User adds a user directly on the clock.)
Clock main menu - User Mgt. - New User or All Users

The user screen shows the User ID, Name, User Role, Fingerprint, Badge Number (card) and Password. Keep the User ID the same as the employee number in TimeClock 365. The User Role is Normal User for employees and Super Admin for people who manage the clock's menu.
