Syncing Employee Photos & Biometric Data to Devices
Last updated: 9/22/2026
Syncing Biometric Data & Photos
EasyTime keeps a copy of each employee's fingerprint/face templates and photo, and can push them to any device the employee is assigned to.
Bio-Template Tab
Go to Devices → Bio-Template to see, per employee, which devices already have their fingerprint/face/palm template enrolled (green check) and which don't (gray). Use Resync to re-push a template to a device it's missing from — useful after replacing a device or adding a new one to an Area.
Bio-Photo Tab
Go to Devices → Bio-Photo to push employee photos to devices that support on-screen photo display on punch. Photos are usually uploaded once on the employee's profile and synced automatically; use this tab to force a resync if a device shows a blank photo.
Common Reasons a Sync Doesn't Land
- The device is in the Unassigned area (never syncs anything — move it to a real Area)
- The device is offline (check the green/gray dot next to it on the Devices list)
- The photo file is too large or in an unsupported format — re-upload a clear, front-facing JPEG/PNG
Enrolling New Fingerprints/Faces
Biometric enrollment itself (pressing a finger, scanning a face) happens on the device, not in EasyTime — the device pushes the new template up to EasyTime automatically, and EasyTime then pushes it out to every other device the employee is assigned to.
