6. Identity Capture (Facial Biometrics)

6.1 When is enrollment done?

  • When onboarding a new employee (first time).
  • When the operation authorizes a “re-enrollment” (due to relevant physical changes or previous poor quality).

Note: Re-enrollment is only allowed with supervisor authorization (per internal policy).

6.2 Step-by-step (enrollment)

  1. Go to the Biometric Enrollment / Enrollment module.

2. Identify/select the correct employee (if the flow requires it).

3. Instruct the user to: - Look straight at the camera. - Do not move. - Keep their face within the frame.

4. Capture when the App indicates.

5. Fill out the form with Name, Email, Role.

6. Click the **Save** button.

7. “All set!” message.

6.3 Rules for a correct capture

  • Front-facing lighting (ideal: natural light or white light).
  • Avoid backlighting (windows or lights behind the user).
  • Full face visible (forehead, eyes, nose, mouth).
  • No movement (avoid blur).
  • Clean lens.

6.4 Common errors and prevention

  • Face not detected: move closer/center the face, remove obstructions.
  • Blurry image: stabilize the tablet, retry without movement.
  • Too dark/backlit: change the user’s position or the capture point setup.
