After clicking Workers, you will see a table with workers who already exist in the system - if you want to assign a key fob to existing worker, click on the worker’s edition (pencil icon in the actions column)
After clicking on edit, the worker editing tab will appear on the right. Remove the numbers from the QR or RFID code field, leave the cursor in this field and then put they key fob on the reader connected to the computer - the field will be filled with numbers - then click save button.
Now, worker has an assigned key fob and can register work on the tasks as well as check in and check out to work faster.
