To assign a user a PIN, type in the desired PIN number under the PIN field and toggle the Is a PIN required? Switch to YES and click SAVE below. The user will now be prompted to enter a PIN when accessing the POS.

You can also configure a register to Go to User Page each time a sale is finalised to prompt users to log in after each sale. For more information see Register Specific Workflow.

Tags

Tags are used to segment Users so that you can filter Attendance. For example, you could Tag users as part-time or full-time and then filter an attendance report based on your part-time or full-time employees.
