Changing Employee ID in TCMS V2 and FingerTec devices

Wednesday, April 23, 2014 TimeTec 38 Comments

There are cases where you need to change the IDs of your employees. For example, an employee that changes department, an employee who is transferred to other branch or an employee who gets promoted. 

TCMS V2 allows you to change the employee ID to match with your requirements. However, your need to make sure that the same changes are made in TCMS V2 AND the corresponding hardware to avoid any complications after the changes. Please perform complete data download from all devices to collect all transaction records before you start the process of changing any Employee ID.

FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW:

Step 1: Download all transactions and users into TCMSv2 software.

Step 2: Delete the employee data (ID, fingerprint, face, password or card) from all devices. Go into TCMS v2 software > Employee Management > Delete Employee (Terminal) > Select employee to delete, example employee ID 30 > Select all data > Select devices to delete > Apply > OK to start to delete


Step 3: Perform a check at all devices to make sure the employee data was deleted from all the devices.
Go into Terminal User Control à Check employees > Download Employees > Apply > OK > Check the list to make user the old employee ID is no longer exist in all devices.

Step 4: Change employee ID under Employee tab

Go into TCMS V2 software > Employee tab > Change ID > OK > Insert old ID into the OLD column (for example 30) and new ID into the NEW column (for example 60) > Apply


Step 5: Update the employee credentials after you have changed the old ID to new ones in all devices
Go into TCMS v2 software > Employee Management > Upload Employee > Select the new employee ID, for example 60 > Select all data > Select devices to update > Apply > OK



While changing Employee ID in all devices are okay, an important thing to avoid is the mismatch of information between TCMS V2 and the hardware.

  1. If we change the user id is there a chance that we can transfer/view their old attendance record to their new user id?

    When you change ID, all attendance record & user data in TCMSv2 will directly changed to new user ID.

    1. Hi Hazlin Danuri,

      For Black and white devices, Please press Menu > Option > System option > Advance option > Clear all data.

      For Color screen devices, Please press Menu > System > Data Management > Delete all.

      If devices is locked (Admin Affirm), Please enter the Menu using Supervisor/Superadmin Privilege because only them have authority to delete all data in devices.

    1. Hi Domanick Fabro,

      Referring to the problem, please make sure you have completely delete the user ID 3 from the TCMSv2 software before you can reuse the user ID. You can check it by go to Employees tab > tick right on Terminate option, and check whether the user ID 3 still there or not. If still there, please delete the ID, then follow the above step to change the user ID and reuse ID 3. Regards.

    1. Dear Value CUstomer,

      Referring to your query, kindly brief us whether you fail to remove all the user data including the User ID, privilege, password and name, or you only fail to remove the fingerprint template.
      Basically if you wish to transfer user data from one terminal to other terminal, you may refer the step and procedure from the following manual (Chapter 4, page 48-81).

      http://www.fingertec.com/customer/download/postsales/SUM-TCMSV2-E.pdf

      In the mean time, please make sure that the second terminal terminal have the same Alg version (Fingerprint template version) like the first machine, before you can transfer the fingerprint template successfully. Thanks and regards.

    1. It's not working. Even though I get "Process Completed" message in TCMS V2. I also went through the manual and followed each step; the fingerprints are not being uploaded.
      We're talking about 80 fp.

  13. Hi Sir

    We suspect that fingerprint from the TCMSv2 software is different algorithm from the new device. Fingerprint templates from the BioBridge VX10.0 algorithm cannot be mixed and matched with fingerprint templates from BioBridgeVX9.0 algorithm. The templates derived from the BioBridge VX9.0 will prompt an error during the verification period if it were uploaded to the terminal via the BioBridge VX10.0 or vice versa.

    Please check your fingerprint algorithm version for the old device and the new device by using the terminal function update tools

    Tools - http://www.fingertec.com/download/terminal-func.zip

    1) Download and extract the tool
    2) Fill in the IP address and Click Connect [you can view the device details including fingerprint biobridge version]

    Incase both old device and new device is using different version, you need to downgrade or upgrade the biobridge version of the new device accordingly by using the Function tool so that it will have the same biobridge version like the old device.

    1) 1) Download and extract the tool
    2) Fill in the IP address and Click Connect
    3) Tick Biobridge Vx [choose either version 9 or 10]
    4) Click Update and restart the terminal

    1. Hi,

      Referring to your query, please provide more clarification on the issue for us to provide assistance accordingly:

      1. What terminal are you using?
      2. Do you mean that after saving the password, the user cannot verify using password?

      Also, please try to create the password in TCMS v2 and upload it to the device using 'Update Employee' function and monitor the result.

      If the problem persists, you may send us an email to support@fingertec.com together with the above information.

  18. Dear Marwan,

    Please see comment posted on November 22, 2016 by Husna Ahmadjuani.

    It's very important the check the Fingerprint template algorithm used by each device. If they aren't the same, you won't able to upload the fp to the new device.

    Regards.
