FAQ’S
What is the difference between self authorised & generating a pin?
Self Authorised: Self authorised means a member of management has authorised the device themselves.
Generating a pin: This means a member of the management team is generating a pin to enable a staff member to work remotely. Alternatively, you may ask a member of management to generate a pin if there are no other managers on site.
Top tip: Only the Managers & Deputy Managers are able to self authorise devices & generate pins for other staff members.
How do I self authorise my device?
Type URL into the browser bar > Login page appears > Input credentials > Sign in > Once logged in a pop up will appear in the top right hand corner > Click authorise device > Enter device name > Click approve this device
Top tip: Once you have approved a device as a manager, all members of staff will be able to log in successfully without having to ask for a pin.
How do I generate a pin?
More > Settings > Security > Authorised devices > + Create > Enter device name > Select staff member > Generate pin > A pin will show on the screen & be sent to the staff members email address.
Top tip: This pin expires within 3 hours & will display on your access logs as ‘pin expired’.
Can I regenerate a pin for the same staff member?
Yes, of course, this is made quick and simple.
More > Settings > Security > Authorised devices > Click the edit key on the specific device that says ‘pin expired’ > Scroll to generate a new pin for this device > Click regenerate pin > It will then show a valid pin number.
