16. Employee Clocking

NoahFace Visitor Registration can also support employee clocking. From the welcome screen, employees can press the “Employees” button to register:

Once they have registered, the next time they present they will be automatically recognised, and they simply have to press the “Sign In” (or “Sign Out”) button:

Registration Options

You can configure the text on the employee registration button as follows:

reg=Register

You can also hide the employee registration button altogether by specifying:

hidereg=true

If you do hide the registration button, then employees will not be matched using facial recognition, even if they have shared biometrics.

Clocking Logic

Each time an employee presents themselves, NoahFace determines their current status to display either a “Sign In” or a “Sign Out” button. That is, if they are not currently signed in, they will see a “Sign In” button, and if they are currently signed in, they will see a “Sign Out” button.

You can specify the maximum shift length (in hours) by specifying:

max=10

Once the specified number of hours has passed, it is assumed that the employee has forgotten to sign out, and they will see the “Sign In” button if they present.

You can also specify a time of day (in 24 hour format) when all employees are assumed to be signed out:

end=23:00

Using this example, an employee signing in at 10pm (22:00) would see the “Sign In” button at 7am the next day, even though 10 hours has not yet passed.
