With Attendré, employees sign in and out by entering their ID numbers on the computer. Employees can enter their ID numbers by it on the keyboard, or they can simply slide their ID card in the ID reader. Using an ID reader speeds up the sign in and sign out process by eliminating the need to manually type the numbers. ID entry with the ID reader is also more accurate as it eliminates typing errors.

Note that the software will still support manual entry. So if an employee forgets the ID card, he or she can still sign in and out by typing the number on the keyboard.

We offer two types of ID readers: Barcode and Magnetic Stripe. Which one to use depends on the format of your employee ID.

Which ID Reader is right for me?

We offer several types of ID readers. The choice of which ID reader to use depends on your ID card:

	1. Magnetic Stripe Reader: If your ID card has a magnetic stripe (like the one on the back of credit cards) on the back , and the magnetic stripe has an ID number on it, then order the Magnetic Stripe ID reader. You must have the ID number embedded on track 1 or 2 for this to work.
	2. Slot barcode Reader: If your ID card has a barcode that is close to the edge of the card, then a slot barcode reader might work. The slot reader will only work if the laser beam hits the barcode in the center when you slide the card. If you send us a sample ID card we will test it for you and we will tell you whether you will a slot barcode reader will work with your ID card.
