Before employees can use a time clock to punch, they must be enrolled on the clock. There are two ways to add an employee to a clock:
Add the employee on the clock first and update their enrollment in Avanti.

How to Add Employee
This section guides you through adding an employee to the clock.
Additional Information
Before you add the employee to the clock, we recommend confirming the employee’s PIN. The employee’s PIN in Avanti corresponds to their User ID on the clock.
Step 1: On your uFace 800 Clock, select User Mgt.
Step 2: Select New User.
Step 3: Click User ID, then enter the employee’s ID, and select Confirm (OK).
Additional Information
User ID populates the employee PIN in Avanti.
Additional Information
There’s no need to update additional information on the clock; once the user matches an employee in Avanti, we’ll automatically send the remaining employee information to the clock, such as the employee’s name.
Now you’re ready to add how the employee will be identified on the clock:
How to Add a Face to the Clock
If your employee isn’t with you at the clock, you won’t be able to add their face. Skip to the How to Add a Swipe Card section below if they are using an authentication card. Otherwise, you’ll need to wait until the employee is at the clock.
Step 1: Select Face.
Step 2: Have the employee align their eyes in the box by moving closer or further from the clock.
Step 3: Once the employee’s face is updated, a 1 displays beside Face.
Great! The employee can now identify themselves by scanning their face. Want to add another type of verification? Go to:
If you only want your employee to verify their identity using their face, select the back button in the top-left corner to save their information.
Congratulations! Your employee is ready to check in and out on the clock. Now you’ll want to confirm the employee is updated with the clock enrollment in Avanti. Go to Confirm an Employee’s Clock Enrollment for more information.
How to Add Fingerprints on the Clock
Want to use fingerprints to identify the employee? You can add as many of the employee’s fingerprints as you’d like. We recommend adding at least two, just in case one doesn’t work.
Step 1: Select Fingerprint.
Step 2: Select the finger of the fingerprint you’d like to add.
Step 3: The employee scans their finger three times successfully to register the fingerprint.
Additional Information
The employee must remove their finger from the scanning area between each scan.
Step 4: Enrolled successfully displays on the clock if the scan was successful.
Additional Information
If Duplicated Finger displays, the employee is already enrolled on the clock. Select back on the clock until you’re on the main screen, then have the employee scan their finger to get their User ID.
Step 5: Repeat Steps 1 to 4 for every fingerprint you want to add.
Additional Information
The number of fingerprints you’ve added displays beside Fingerprint.
Wonderful! You’re all done enrolling the employee’s fingerprints.
