Staff login and switching staff at the till
How staff log in with their own code on the web, desktop and mobile apps, how to switch staff at the till and how to record a sale under a staff member's name.
Staff log in with their own staff code and password; their sales are recorded under their name and they only see the actions they have permission for. For adding staff and setting permissions: Adding staff and permissions.
Staff login
Login page
On the benimpos.com login page, tick the Staff login option.
Enter the details
Enter the staff code in the Email / Staff code field, the password in the password field and your Business ID (the number starting with "U" on the admin's Profile page), then log in.
Switching staff at the till
When logged in with a staff account, a Staff: Name label appears on the top bar of the sales screen. At a shift change, click this label, choose the staff member from the list and enter their password; the sales screen continues with the new staff member. If My Profile › Other Settings › Password required to switch staff is on, a password is asked when switching; if you turn it off, staff can switch without a password.
