Every shop session starts with the right person.

Identify the user, complete the configured sign-on workflow, and let GRIT Hub Pro apply the result.

First-use workflow

Link each credential to the right GRIT profile.

If the credential identifier is already imported, first use is just a scan. If it is not, SignOn walks through a one-time assignment.

Starting point What happens Result
Card identifier is supplied during import Present the card, tag, sticker, or configured credential. Physical ID Number already associates that identifier with the GRIT profile, so the card can resolve on first presentation.
No card UID, but a barcode or magnetic stripe value is available Use that value at SignOn to find the user, then follow the assignment prompt and present the new card, tag, or sticker. SignOn saves the new UID to the selected profile.
No card identifier or alternate scannable value If user search is enabled, search by name, select the correct profile, and follow the assignment prompt. The newly presented identifier is linked to that profile. Search availability is configurable.
Temporary card Present a temporary GRIT card when prompted. SignOn assigns the typical temporary MIFARE 1K card for shop use.
Mobile credential Include an email address and enable Send Mobile Card Email during Data Import. GRIT can email a mobile wallet card when the required mobile-wallet conditions are met. It supplements physical-card options; it does not replace them.

When a credential is not linked yet

Assign the credential once.

SignOn uses this path when the selected profile does not already have the card, tag, or sticker identifier it needs.

  1. 01
    Identify the profile

    Use an imported barcode or magnetic stripe value, or search for the person when profile search is enabled.

  2. 02
    Start the assignment

    SignOn shows Assign RFiD Card. Select Click to Begin to continue.

  3. 03
    Present the credential

    At Tap a RFiD, present the card, tag, or sticker that person will use.

  4. 04
    Use it next time

    SignOn stores the identifier on the selected GRIT profile so later presentations resolve that profile directly.

When this appears: Enable Prompt To Assign RFiD Tag when imported profiles do not already include the credential identifier.

Data Import

Four fields determine the identifier path.

Physical ID Number

Imports the UID or reader-provided identifier that should be associated with the user’s GRIT profile.

External System Id

Imports an identifier from your existing system so GRIT can match the user when the selected reader workflow returns that value.

Prompt To Assign RFiD Tag

Controls whether SignOn prompts an identified user to assign a card, tag, or sticker.

Send Mobile Card Email

Emails a GRIT mobile wallet card to a newly imported user when Mobile Wallet is enabled and an email address is available. The mobile credential is an additional option, not a replacement for physical cards.

Usage scenarios

One sign-on point for schools and manufacturing floors.

Place SignOn where users begin the workflow: at a shop entrance, lobby, or other controlled sign-in point.
