Enrolling Employees

It is highly recommended to enroll employees into the AMG software first to ensure that badge ID numbers are entered correctly and consistently.

For PC-Based Software

If you are using the PC/Desktop version of AMG, refer to this guide

For Cloud-Based Software

If you are using the WEB/Cloud version of AMG, refer to this guide

 

Employees must be enrolled as Users in the system. You can enroll them using one or more of the following methods:

  • Fingerprint

  • Face

  • Proximity Card

  • PIN

These methods can be used individually or together as backup verification options (e.g., if a fingerprint scan fails).

General Notes

  • Each employee is assigned a unique ID number (1–65535). This number cannot be duplicated or reassigned later.

  • Employee biometric and credential data (face, fingerprint, card, PIN) can be:

    • Enrolled directly on the device, or

    • Copied/transferred to other AMG devices using AMG software or a USB drive.

 Step 1: Access the Main Menu

  1. Press and Hold the 'M'/'OK' Button

    • Press and hold the 'M'/'OK' button for a few seconds. This will open the Administration Menu.

  2. Navigate the Menu

    • Edit the User ID to match the badge number assigned to the employee in the software (if needed).
    • Name is optional, but you may enter the employee’s name if desired.

    • Change the User Role to Super Admin if this employee needs access to the clock menus and the ability to enroll other users.
 

Step 3: Admin Enrollment Confirmation
