Configuring Employee Options

Use the Employee screen to control security settings, passwords and how you log in to the system in the future. You can login to the PAYD Pro PlusTM Mobile Solution in one of two ways: using the login credentials (Store ID, Employee ID and Password), by using a PIN (personal identification number), or by utilizing the Apple Touch ID feature  (fingerprint login). Entering security credentials ensures that if your tablet is lost, your data is (potentially) protected from unauthorized use.

NOTE: The Employee screen in the PAYD Pro Plus Mobile app is used to configure only one employee at a time. If you have more than one employee who will be using the software, each employee must sign in separately and follow the steps below.

NOTE: If you are using the PAYD Pro Plus In-Store application, you can configure and manage your employees using the Employees screen.
