Parent Elements
Attributes
| Name | Type | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| allowTypedBadgeNumber | boolean | Whether to allow the badge number to be typed. When the badge number is being prompted for, this controls whether a "Type" button will be visible, allowing it to be typed instead of scanned. | No (defaults to false) |
| requireBadgeNumber | boolean | Whether to require the worker badge number to be scanned or typed when a worker logs on at a station. | No (defaults to false) |
| requirePassword | boolean | Whether to require the worker password to be typed when a worker logs on at a station. | No (defaults to false) |
Child Elements
None.
Remarks
When Acuit Pinpoint Workstation prompts for a worker to log on, it will prompt for a badge number and/or a password, depending on these settings. The settings will cause behavior as follows:
| requireBadgeNumber | requirePassword | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| false | false | The worker logon prompt will ask for the badge number to be scanned or typed, or the password to be typed. Only one or the other is used to log on. This is the default behavior. |
| true | false | The worker logon prompt will only ask for the badge number to be scanned or typed. |
| false | true | The worker logon prompt will only ask for the password to be typed. |
| true | true | The worker logon prompt will ask for the badge number to be scanned or typed, and the password to be typed. Both are required to log on. |
Note that setting both of these attributes to false will not eliminate the worker logon prompt.
To eliminate the worker logon prompt completely, use the autoLogOnBadgeNumber station type
setting to automatically log a worker on.
When this element does not exist, the worker logon settings defaults are as described in the above "Attributes" table.
