If you have existing employee badges that include a QR code (or other type of barcode) of employee numbers (or card numbers), NoahFace allows you to use these for user identification.
To use your existing employee badges for user identiifciation, edit your Access Rules:
Set Identification Required to "QR Code":
Identification takes place by matching barcodes to the employee numbers (or card numbers) on your user records:
Employee numbers and card numbers should be maintained in your HR platform and synchronized to NoahFace.
Badges are assumed to use QR codes by default, as this is the most commonly used barcode type. However, if your badges use other types of barcodes, you can specify this using the "bctype" option in your Access Point Type Screen Details. The following barcode types are supported:
Employees will be prompted to "Present their QR Code" or "Present their Badge" at the time clock as appropriate. If you prefer specific terminology (eg: "Access Card"), you can specify the "bcname" option in your Access Point Type Screen Details.
For example:
Using other types of barcodes requires version 25.11 or later of the NoahFace App.
If you want to allow employees to manually enter their employee number if they forget their badge, edit your Access Point Type, set the Registration Method to "Number" and Manual Use to "No Photo" as follows:
Employees do not need to register - when they present at the NoahFace time clock, they simply hold up their badge to the iPad camera to identify themselves.
All of the interactive features of NoahFace are available when using badges for identification. For example you can:
When a user is identified using a badge, you will see a QR Code or barcode as the event photo as appropriate, and the identification method will be recorded using your configured terminology (eg: Badge, Access Card, QR code, etc):
