IMPORTANT NOTES ON DELETE FUNCTIONS

  • Deleting a user from the device will not delete them from Device Manager!

  • ​If a user profile has only one biometric saved, selecting Delete for that biometric will prompt the warning: 'User has no other data enrolled, continue to delete?' with the options of OK and Cancel. Pressing OK will delete the biometric data. The user will no longer be able to clock in or out using the device until at least one biometric, password or card are enrolled again.
