PIN Login

After a successful login with a Main or Register account on a tablet device, the user is directed to the PIN Login Page.

This screen is used to identify the active user who will operate the POS application.

Purpose

The PIN login step ensures that actions performed on the POS terminal are properly attributed to the correct employee.

Each user (Server, Admin, or Main) must enter their assigned PIN code, which is configured in the Admin Panel during user creation or editing.

Once the PIN is validated:

  • The user is considered active for the session.
  • All transactions and actions will be assigned to this user in the system.

Worker Shifts Requirement

If worker shifts are enabled — which they are by default in the Belgian SCE-certified version (Version 1) — a Worker Shift Prompt will appear immediately after PIN entry, but only if a booking period is already active.

  • If no establishment shift (booking period) is running, the system will first prompt the user to start a booking period.
  • Once a booking period is started, the user will be forwarded to the Worker Shift page.
  • The user must then start a new worker shift before continuing.
  • No actions can be taken on the POS tablet until both the booking period and worker shift are active.
  • After starting the worker shift, the user gains full access to the app's home screen and features.

Warning

Worker shifts are mandatory in Belgian SCE-certified deployments, and each worker shift is tied to a booking period.
A worker shift cannot be started unless a booking period is running.

Note

This ensures that all user actions are properly tracked and associated with both the employee and the operational session (booking period), supporting legal compliance and detailed activity auditing.

Mobile Device Behavior

When logging in on a mobile device using a Server account:

  • The user is not prompted to enter a PIN code.
  • The user is not required to start a worker shift.

Mobile users must log in through a Register or Main tablet device if they are expected to operate under a shift-tracked session.

Tip

Worker shifts and PIN login are tablet-only behaviors required for compliance.
Mobile users operate under different constraints, which will be covered in the Mobile Application section.

Summary

  • The PIN login page identifies which user is actively operating the POS system.
  • All actions during the session are attributed to the authenticated user.
  • Worker shifts are enforced immediately after PIN entry in certified setups.
  • Mobile login skips PIN and shift prompts by design.
