Configuring Magnetic Card Security

  1. In Reporting and Analytics, click Labor, click Employee Administration, click Admin, and then click Organization Configuration.
  2. To ensure magnetic card uniqueness across locations, select Enforce unique MagCard Number and then click Save. This option must be enabled for integrations with Simphony POS.
    If the system detects duplicate magnetic card IDs, the system lists the duplicate records. Manually update the IDs to make them unique.
  3. To remove the MagCard number associated with a terminated employee, click Remove MagCard Number on Termination. When the employee is terminated, the magnetic card field will be cleared in the POS configuration record. This option goes into effect for updated records and is not retroactive. This option must be enabled for integrations with Simphony POS.

Note:

  • If Enforce unique MagCard Number is selected and you update an employee with a magcard value that is already in use, then this message appears: Magnetic card is already assigned for '******'. Assign to this Employee? Click OK to remove the value from the original employee and save for the current employee.

  • If Enforce unique MagCard Number is deselected and you attempt to update an employee with a magcard value already in use, then this message appears: Another employee is using this MagCard Number at Location *******. A unique magcard number must be assigned to this employee.
