Two more reports are added to the system. They allow displaying the requiredpersonnel-related information in the most convenient and easy-to-see way. A worktime-board displays the arrival and departure time of every employee as well as thetotal hours worked by an employee; undertimes are highlighted in red and overtimesare highlighted in green. A late comings log allows displaying the day on which anemployee came to office late, the time during which a given employee was late, totaltruancies for a specified period and their aggregate duration.
An important option is added to the access control module of BioTime. It allowsdefining access rights of employee accessing various areas and premises to the exactminute. For example, an access schedule allows ordinary employees enter thecorporate canteen only during lunch hours, while catering personnel and securitypeople can access it at any time.
Large firms with a distributed company structure will surely praise new centralizedmanagement features. From now on, configurations of checkpoints can be managed froma single command centre for various employees to access areas protected by BioLinkFingerPass terminals or card readers by applying a previously enrolled finger.
Operation modes of BioLink FingerPass terminals can also be easily switched. Theterminal can operate in autonomous (biometric records are stored in the devicememory), network (the data is stored on the BioTime server) and combined(combination of autonomous and network modes) modes. As a standard, it isrecommended to use a combined mode: in this case if the connection with BioTimeserver fails (due to temporary LAN failures), the terminal continues operating, andupon reconnection, it will pass over the accumulated information on the arrival anddeparture events stored in the internal memory to the server.
The head of the time monitoring and access control division of BioLink says: BioTime is characterized by a wide range of advanced time monitoring and accesscontrol features, has an intuitive interface, and provided support for multipleidentifiers (fingerprints, smart cards, tokens). As for accuracy and reliability ofthe system provided by using unique biometric parameters, we can surely say thatBioTime is an obvious choice for any company striving to effectively managepersonnel and control access to its offices .
