Face readers use facial recognition to identify employees when they clock in and out. Before an employee can use a face reader, their faceprint must be registered on the device. This article explains how.
How to register a faceprint
The employee stands in front of the face reader device
An admin or the employee initiates the registration process on the device
The device captures several images of the employee's face from different angles
The faceprint template is created and stored on the device
The faceprint syncs to Begin and appears on the employee's Identifiers tab
Where to see registered faceprints
Go to Devices in the left sidebar, then navigate to the Identifiers page to see all faceprints (and other identifier types) across the company. Or open a specific employee's profile and click the Identifiers tab to see only their identifiers.
Faceprints are listed with the type label Faceprint.
Managing faceprints
Faceprints follow the same management rules as fingerprints — you can link them to specific devices, unlink them, or delete them from the Identifiers page. See the article "How to manage RFID cards and identifiers" for details on identifier management actions.
Tips for successful registration
Ensure good lighting during registration — avoid backlighting
The employee should face the camera directly at the correct height
Remove hats, sunglasses, or anything that significantly changes facial appearance
