👆 Introduction – Biometric Authentication

Biometric authentication is an easy-to-use and accurate technology that enhances security by safeguarding employee information.
Ideagen TWMS Terminals are equipped with finger scanning functionality for identification and access control.

This ensures:

• ✅ Reliable attendance tracking
• ✅ Elimination of “buddy punching” (one person logging in for another)

When a contractor/employee logs onto a TWMS Terminal for the first time, a supervisor must set up their finger scan enrolment.

📝 Enrolling Finger Scans – Step by Step

1.📲 On the TWMS terminal touch screen, tap the Manage icon at the top of the screen.

2.👤 From the Manager’s dropdown list, select your name and enter your PIN code.

3.🔑 Once the supervisor password is accepted, the Options screen will appear.

4.➕ Select Enroll Person from the Options menu.

5.🆔 Enter the person’s Damstra Access Card number.

6.✅ A confirmation screen will appear – select Yes to proceed.

7.☝ On the screen, choose the finger you want to enroll.

8.🔵 The selected finger will display a blue circle around it.

9.✋ The system will prompt you to scan the finger three (3) times.

10.🔄 If successful, you’ll be asked if you want to scan additional fingers (recommended in case of cuts or issues in the future).

11.👥 If not, the system will ask if you wish to enroll another person.

12.🚪 Once enrolment is complete, select Close on the Options screen.

✅ Best Practice Recommendation

• Always enroll more than one finger for each person for backup.
• Supervisors should double-check scans before completing the process.
