If this check box is selected, employees who have previously enrolled in finger or face biometrics without an accepted consent will be presented with a biometric consent form at their next device transaction to accept or decline. If an employee accepts consent, the transaction will continue. If the employee declines consent, their biometric templates will be deleted and they will be required to authenticate at the device using their badge or pin.

If this check box is selected, employees must agree to a biometric consent form before using finger scan biometrics.

Use the drop-down list to select how closely an employee’s finger scan image must match the employee’s biometric template for successful verification. Settings are Normal (the default), Low, and None.

Select this check box to require employees to use a finger scan device to verify transactions that use a badge swipe or that key in badge numbers.

If this check box is selected, all employee mode transactions, including transactions that generate a punch record and transactions that are view-only, require biometric verification at the device.

If it is not selected, only Employee mode transactions that may generate a punch record, such as Location Transfer or Enter Tips, require biometric verification. View-only transactions, such as View Current Schedule or Review Punches, do not require biometric verification.

If the device is operating in Manager mode, verification is required for a simple keypad punch or badge swipe. However, no verification is required for soft key entries such as Labor Level Transfer, Pay Code Edit, and Start Work Rule Transfer.

This setting is independent of Enforce Biometric Verification.

Smart View transactions are not affected by this setting. Use the Smart Views template to enable or disable biometric verification for each Smart View transaction independently.

Requires employees (who are identified as biometric employees in Maintenance > People information) to biometrically verify actions at a device.

If this check box is selected and the employee is not enrolled at the device, an error message prompts the employee to enroll.

If this check box is not selected, and the employee is a biometric employee, the employee can perform transactions at the device without being prompted for verification. After the employee is enrolled at the device, a prompt for biometric verification appears when the employee performs a transaction.

This setting requires that the Primary server instance ID entry be set in the Communications Settings template.

For devices using the device-initiated protocol—Enter the Primary server Instance ID at the device as the numeric instance mapped in the Communications Settings template for the application service context instance.

For devices using the server-initiated protocol—Enter the instance ID as the application server context name, such as wfc, established in the Communications Settings building block.

This setting is independent of Enable Biometric Verification for All Transactions.

Select this check box to require non-home employees to verify transactions using a badge swipe or keyed-in badge numbers using a biometric finger scan.

If this check box is selected, employees must agree to a biometric consent form before using face biometrics.

Select this check box to enable biometric identification.

To enable biometric verification, clear this check box

Note: You can mix 4500 and InTouch devices in the same device group. However, if the Biometrics product is being used, a mixed configuration is supported for biometric verification only.

• User Initiated Authentication - To turn on the camera, users must first swipe their badge, or enter their badge ID and password.

• Always on Authentication - The camera turns on automatically when a user is within 2–3 feet (61–91 centimeters) of the timeclock.

Select this check box to enable enables employees who are enrolled for facial recognition to use biometric verification or biometric identification for all standard transactions.

The device configuration setting that enables biometric verification or biometric identification applies to all standard transactions that result in timecard entries; you cannot enable facial recognition for individual standard transactions.

Facial recognition can be enabled for individual Smart View transactions. Access the Device Configuration page, and select Smart View. Open the Smart View Transaction Editor and select the Prompt for Employee Badge and Biometric Verification check boxes. The Smart View transaction then allows facial recognition for employees who are enrolled in biometrics.

Selecting this check box requires employees to enroll for face biometrics before performing transactions that use facial recognition.

• Pre Authentication Delay - How long the camera pauses between detecting a face and beginning to authenticate it. If the motion of passersby causes the camera to turn on too frequently, increase the delay.

• Post Authentication Delay - How long the facial recognition device pauses between finding a match and authenticating it. To allow employees more time to tap Cancel or Enter ID before authentication, increase the delay.

• Always on Capture Delay - How long the facial recognition device, when in Always On mode, pauses between authenticating one employee and beginning to authenticate the next. To increase the rate at which employees are authenticated, decrease the delay.
