How to Sync Employees with Biometric Devices

Timecloud can automatically sync your employee list with your biometric scanner devices. When enabled, employees are pushed to the device so they can clock in using the scanner without manual setup on the device itself.

Prerequisites

  • Your company account must have a biometric device integration configured. If you don't see the sync option, contact Timecloud support to set up the integration.

Getting there

  1. Go to Settings in the main navigation.

  2. Select Devices from the sidebar.

  3. Scroll below the devices table to find the Sync Employee with Biometrics device section.

Note: This section only appears if your account has a biometric device integration set up.

Enabling employee sync

  1. Locate the Sync Employee with Biometrics device toggle.

  2. Toggle it on to enable automatic syncing.

  3. Click Save Changes.

Once enabled:

  • Employees will be synced to the biometric device automatically.

  • Individual employees can then be assigned scanner permissions, groups, and card numbers (see How to Configure Employee Biometric Scanner Settings).

Disabling employee sync

  1. Toggle the Sync Employee with Biometrics device switch off.

  2. Click Save Changes.

Important: Disabling sync stops future updates from being sent to the device. Employees already on the device may remain until manually removed from the device.
