How to switch users on the terminal

Hand the terminal to another employee — from the menu, tap the switch-user icon, choose the employee, and enter their PIN.

How to switch users on the terminal

Several staff can share one terminal. Switching users changes who is operating the terminal, without signing all the way out.

  1. Open the menu from the home screen.

  2. At the bottom of the menu — next to the current user's name and role — tap the switch-user icon.

  3. On the Select employee screen ("Choose who is operating this terminal"), tap the employee you want to switch to.

  4. Enter that employee's PIN. Once it's verified, they're now operating the terminal, and the menu shows them as the signed-in user.

The employee you're switching to needs their own user account on the terminal. If they aren't listed on the Select employee screen, ask your administrator to add them.
