# Assigning a card to an employee

One of the options for recording attendance is using an RFID card.

Note

The procedure also applies to the RFID chip (key fob).

Warning

At this point, it is assumed that the employee is already enrolled in attendance - he has an assigned personal number.

Steps to be taken:

Employee registration in the webPatrol module
Creating a template for a given attendance reader and loading a fingerprint

# 1. Employee registration in the webPatrol module

The webPatrol module is a separate application from attendance itself, so in order to have access to employees, we have to register them

Employee registration in the webPatrol module

Open the webPatrol module and enter Users
Go to the Unregistered in Patrol tab - new employees are located here
Mark the employee and click the Register users button
Click the Yes button to confirm PIN = Personal Number

Note

The PIN is the identifier under which the employee appears in the attendance reader

Now the employee is in the Registered in Patrol tab

# 2. Creating a template for a given attendance reader and loading the card

The template is the record of the employee on the attendance reader. Each type of attendance reader uses a different type of template.

Plug the impersonation reader into the USB port on your computer for scanning cards.
