Changing Employee Settings

Managers can perform a variety of employee-related tasks using the workstation.
  1. To add employees to a new property:
    1. Sign on to a workstation that belongs to the property to which you want to assign employees.
    2. Click the Launch PMC function key, and then click Add Employee.
    3. Click the # button, enter the ID of the employee that you want to assign to the property, and then click OK.
    4. Click Search, select the employee, and then click Add Employee.
    5. Click OK when prompted for confirmation.
  2. To change an employee identification (ID) number:
    1. Click the Launch PMC function key, and then click Edit Employee PIN.
    2. Use the filters to narrow your search, select the relevant employee from the list, and then click Edit.
    3. For workstations requiring manual pin number entry, enter the employee PIN number in the field.
    4. For workstations that use a magnetic card reader, swipe the employee card.
    5. For workstations that are RFID compatible, tap the RFID card at the top of the workstation on the RFID sensor as shown in the figure below.
    6. Click OK.

  3. To enroll employee fingerprints:
    1. Click the Launch PMC function key, and then click Edit Employee PIN.
    2. Use the filters to narrow your search, select the relevant employee from the list, and then click Enroll Fingerprint.
      • To scan the same finger, click Yes when prompted.

      • To scan three different fingers, click No when prompted.

    3. Place the employee’s finger on the fingerprint reader and remove it when the scan is complete. The scanner flashes red while scanning and then turns blue when complete. Remove the finger from the scanner after it turns blue.
    4. Repeat Step 3-c two more times until the enrollment process completes.
  4. To change employee training status:

    Training Mode may be used for practice—it allows an employee to enter sales without affecting real system totals.

    A separate set of training totals is kept, which reflects the practice session of the employee-in-training. While an employee is in Training Mode, his or her output is disabled, and guest checks are printed with a special header which indicates this employee is in training.

    1. Click the Edit Employee Training Status function key.
    2. To add employees to Training Mode, select the Training check box adjacent to the employee name, and then click Save.
    3. To remove employees from Training Mode, deselect the Training check box adjacent to the employee name, and then click Save.
