Managers in BioTouch Follow
The clock settings can be secured by designating one or more users as Managers. Special care must be taken to insure that a Manager has a finger template, a badge number, or a password registered on the clock. If there is a Manager(s) on the clock, the menus can only be accessed by a Manager with their finger image, badge or ID & password.
Granting Manager Privilege
To change a User to a Manager, perform the following steps at the clock:
- Note: A manager must have either a finger template, proximity badge, or password registered in order to be enrolled as a Manager on the clock.
Note: store the password in a safe place. If the password is ever lost and you don’t have access with a fingerprint or proximity badge you will need to contact support to unlock your clock. - Press [Menu], select User Mgt and press [OK], select UserView and press [OK], select the specific employee and press [OK], select Edit and press [OK], then select Privilege and press [OK].
- Select Manager and press [OK].
- The clock will prompt you to “Save?” Select [OK].
- When finished, press [ESC] repeatedly to exit the menus or simply allow the menus to time out.
Editing a Manager’s Profile
If you add finger image(s), badge or password to an existing manager, the added punch methods will not be set at Manager status, i.e., you can’t access the menu via those added punch methods even though you can punch in/out using those methods.
To enable the added punch methods to gain Manager access to the menus simply change the manager to a user and save the setting. Then edit the employee’s profile and change their Privilege level back to Manager and save the setting. Now they will be able to access the clock menus via any of the registered punch methods in their profile.
Manager Access to the Menu
IMPORTANT: Only employees with a Manager status can access the clock menu when a Manager (one or more) is enrolled on the clock. Any one of the following three processes allows a Manager to access the menu:
- Press [Menu]
- Clock displays ‘Manager?
- Within 8 sec. do one of the following:
- Touch finger to the sensor (if a fingerprint is registered)
- Enter the Manager’s ID number and press [OK], then enter the Manager’s Password (if registered) and press [OK].
- Swipe Proximity Badge (if a badge is registered)
Removing Manager Privilege
To change a Manager to a User privilege, perform the following steps at the clock:

- Select User and press [OK].
- The clock will prompt you to “Save?” Select [OK].
