Biometric transactions: Kronos Touch ID Plus
If you are using the Kronos Touch ID Plus option, the Enroll Employee and
Unenroll Employee transactions are available. These transactions also require
some configuration in the host application. For details, see the device
configuration online help.
Templates
The Enroll Employee transaction creates a template for an employee’s finger. A
template is a mathematical representation of a fingertip that is stored on the
InTouch DX device, in an encrypted format. The fingerscan device uses a
composite of three different images of an employee’s fingertip to create the
template. The Kronos Touch ID Plus technology does
not
store actual fingertip
images. Furthermore, the mathematical representations of the fingertips cannot be
used to re-create the original images.
Each employee can enroll two fingers—a primary finger and, if required, a
secondary finger. InTouch DX uses these templates to perform biometric
verification or biometric identification when employees perform a fingerscan.
Biometric
verification
requires an employee to swipe a badge or enter a badge ID
before scanning a finger. Biometric
identification
requires only a fingerscan.
Note : Biometric identification supports
only
home employees.
The fingerscan device can enroll a maximum of 5,000 employees
and
10,000
templates. If you attempt to enroll an employee after this limit is reached, an error
message appears.
To determine the current capacity of a device, run the Biometric report. See
“Biometric” on page 125.
