Register the counter tablet

For security, employee PINs only work on devices registered by the owner or a manager. Even if someone learns a PIN, they can’t use it from home.

Register a device

1. 1On the store tablet, open the browser and sign in to Tintora POS with the owner’s or a manager’s email and password.
2. 2Go to Settings → Devices.
3. 3Enter a name that identifies it, such as “Counter tablet.”
4. 4Tap Register this device.
5. 5Tap Go to the PIN screen. From now on, each employee taps their name and enters their PIN.

Connect a phone by scanning a QR

To let an employee use their own phone (for example, to mark items ready in the plant without carrying the tablet), you don’t have to share the owner’s password.

1. 1On the tablet go to Settings → Devices → Connect a phone.
2. 2Type a name, such as “Plant phone”, and tap Show the code.
3. 3On the phone, open the camera, point it at the code and tap the notification that appears.
4. 4The phone is registered and lands on the PIN screen: the employee taps their name and types their PIN.

The PIN screen

• If someone enters the wrong PIN 5 times in a row, their user is locked for 15 minutes.
• The screen locks itself after the idle minutes you set in Settings → Your store.
• At the end of a shift, anyone can tap Lock screen in the account menu.

If a device is lost or stolen

1. 1From another device, go to Settings → Devices.
2. 2Open the three-dot menu for the lost device.
3. 3Tap Turn off device and confirm.

Whoever is using it is signed out immediately and can no longer sign in with a PIN on that device.
