Biometric Template Maintenance

In addition to enrolling employees, as an administrator, you can also use the following functions in admin mode to maintain biometrics.

Note: On the Dayforce Clock Pro, these functions are available after you tap Fingerprint Enrollment.

Additional biometric functions
Button Function
Delete Employee Template Delete a specific employee’s biometric template in the clock’s database.
Delete All Templates Delete all of the biometric templates stored in the clock’s database.
View Enrollment Statistics View statistics about biometric verification, such as how many employees are enrolled.
Download All Templates Download all of the templates from the server onto the biometric reader.

The clock automatically synchronizes the templates that are available on the clock with the ones on the server at the interval or time specified in its config file. However, on the Dayforce Clock Pro, you can also manually synchronize the templates. This functionality doesn’t apply to clocks that are running in online mode, which download templates as needed. For example, if an employee enrolls for biometric verification on one online clock and tries clocking in on a second online clock, the second clock downloads their template. See Clock Server Synchronization.
