Assigning RFID Cards or Key Fobs Follow
Do you have a JR, DR, CB, or MN series timeclock? If yes, you can give your employees the ability to clock in and out with an RFID card or key fob. Enter the badge number on the fob or card in the Badge Number field in the Employee profile.
To configure an RFID badge/key fob for an employee:
- Log in to the uAttend cloud portal as an administrator or supervisor (with permissions).
- Click on the People tab.
- Click on the name of the intended employee or click the magnifying glass icon in the upper right corner of the window to search for an employee.
- Click the Clocking Management tab from the navigation panel on the left.
- Enter the intended badge number for this employee.
- Click the SAVE button.
Important Notes on Employee Badge Numbers
- uAttend does not support ANY 3rd party accessories (RFID badges, key fobs, badge printers, PoE adapters, etc.).
- Omit any leading 0s from the ID printed on the badge when entering it in the portal.
- BN Series devices do not accept RFID authentication.
- Archiving a user will NOT automatically deactivate the badge assigned to them. The badge ID must be removed from the user profile before it can be assigned to another employee.
- If you need to remove a badge from an archived employee so you can add it to another employee, you must unarchive the employee, delete the badge ID from their profile, and then re-archive them.
- To find out which archived employee has a specific RFID badge or key fob, run an Employee Report. Filter it to show archived users and include the Badge ID in the displayed attributes.
