Biometric Maps: The terminal must be polled before performing the following operations. Received maps to the terminals will
save biometric fingerprint templates for newly enrolled employees, automatically update the database with templates for
employees who have been enrolled at the terminal, and create undefined records for employees that have not yet been enrolled in
the database.
Note: If a newly enrolled employee does not exist in the employee database , then the template in the terminal will not be
saved. If the template data is inadvertently lost from the unit, it must be reassigned to the terminal through the
Assignments
tab.
Once an employee is added to the Employee section of Time Guardian , their template will automatically not be uploaded unless
the employee enrolled at the terminal, and received maps is performed under communications. Once this is done, however, the
employee
’
s template will be saved and the assignment will automatically be updated.
