Below is a guide using Beacon as an example to demonstrate the method for device enrollment. However, the enrollment steps are the same for both Beacon and NFC. Therefore, you can also refer to this guide if you are using NFC. Any additional points specific to NFC will be shown in red text.
Process: To enrol your Beacon/ NFC devices into TimeTec Attendance account, you need to complete the following three setups:
Step 1: Add Time Beacon/ NFC as a Checkpoint
Step 2: Enrol the Beacon/ NFC using the TimeTec HR App
Step 3: Assign Beacon/ NFC to a Checkpoint Group, and allocate users under each group accordingly.
Step 1: Add Time Beacon/ NFC as a checkpoint
1) Login to your TimeTec Attendance account with master account holder, go to Device > Mobile Clocking > NFC | Beacons
2) At the NFC | Beacon list click on Add > Select Beacon/ NFC > Enter a New ID and Name, then press Save.
Step 2: Enrol your Beacon/ NFC using the TimeTec HR Mobile App
Android Users (Recommended for Beacon & NFC enrolment process)
1) Turn on the Bluetooth of your smartphone. (For NFC enrolment: Turn on NFC function)
2) Login to TimeTec HR mobile app with a master admin account.
3) Click on the Features Button (4 square box on the right corner of the app) and select NFC | Beacon Checkpoints.
4) Proceed by selecting the Beacon, NFC in Settings
5) The list of your checkpoints will appear > Select the unregistered Checkpoint, displayed in brighter colour.
There will be 2 options available: Scan QR Code and Manual Entry. Select Scan QR Code to scan the QR Code that is located at the back of the Beacon, or add the code by Manual Entry. The code can be found below the QR Code.
6) Once the device is selected, the UUID and the distance of the available Beacons will appear in the list. (For NFC enrolment: Tap your smartphone at the NFC tag and confirm Yes to register it to the server)
7) Select the preferred Beacon (Based on the Distance), to enroll the UUID of the Beacon in TimeTec
Step 3: Assign Beacons/ NFC to a Checkpoint Group, and allocate users under each group accordingly
1) Login to your TimeTec Attendance account with master account holder, go to Device > Mobile Clocking > NFC | Beacons
2) At NFC | Beacon Group, click on Add > Enter the ID and Location of your Beacon / NFC
3) Enable the Group, then click on the Plus button to add checkpoints (Beacon/ NFC) to the group. You can add both Beacon and NFC checkpoints to the same group.
4) Click on the human icon in front of each group to assign users to the Beacon/NFC Groups and you’re done!
