Web Card Reader - Swipe in

Web Card Reader - Swipe in

This guide is intended for recordholders with the status option: Access Controller or Spot Check Only. 
The web card reader is a web-based application which can be used for access control and spot checks on PCs, tablets and mobile devices.

You can swipe in a SkillGuard recordholder using the built-in camera, QR code scanner, or by using the Forgotten Card option and clicking on the Swipe In button.

  1. When you have swiped a card, the recordholder’s details will appear. Scroll down to view more details.
  2. Next, select the Employer and Job Role (if present) and add the fatigue information (travel times from and to place of rest). This information is stored to inform Access Controllers about hours worked by the recordholder to help ascertain fitness to work. 
  3. If you are satisfied with the details displayed, confirm the swipe, by clicking Confirm Swipe.

Once you have confirmed the swipe, the recordholder will be displayed on the main screen as part of the Swipe History. Click on a recordholder to view their details in full.

The swipe history is cleared automatically from the Web Card Reader every 12 hours.
If you close the browser window without logging out, when you next return, previous swipes will be visible for 12 hours after your last swipe in.
If you log out via the sub-menu, the swipe history will be cleared immediately.
