# Assigning a fingerprint to an employee

One of the options for recording attendance is by scanning a fingerprint.

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 a fingerprint

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 fingerprint identification reader into the USB port on your computer.

Creating a template for a given attendance reader and loading a fingerprint

In the webPatrol module, go to Users and the tab Registered in Patrol
Search and double-click to open the employee record

On the screen, select the type of templateAPIS reader and enable Fingerprints

You can also combine the fingerprint pattern with cards.

Continue by clicking on the green → button
Select the privileges of the employee on the reader

Note

User - an ordinary employee who is scanned on the attendance reader. Administrator - an employee authorized to enter the menu and configure the attendance reader

Continue by clicking on the green → button
In the Fingerprints tab, mark the finger you want to load and click on the Load finger button
You will 3x be asked to attach your finger

Note

You gradually place your finger on the slide on the personalized reader. We try to make the belly of the finger in the center of the slide. Do not press hard on the slide, but do not touch it very gently either.

Damaged, dry, cold fingers can affect the loading of the template. If you can't get a fingerprint, try another finger. We recommend that each employee take two fingerprints.

After successfully reading the fingerprint, click on the Save button and close the window with a cross
Go to the Readers tab

Note

Readers are displayed according to the group assigned to the employee.

Select the attendance readers and click the Synchronize changed button.
After successful synchronization, Synchronized is displayed for the given reader

Note

The reader window is automatically refreshed in short time intervals. You can perform an immediate recovery by clicking on the Readers tab.

The assigned fingerprint is on the attendance reader and the employee can start registering for attendance.
