How to create badge numbers for manager cards

This page shows how to create badge numbers for store managers and use them on MW:POS.

Creating the badge numbers

1. Access MW:Central with your username and password. Go to the Employees page:

2. Select a store to view the current employees and/or to add new ones:

3. Click “Edit” or “New Employee” to change or add an employee profile. You will notice a new field called Badge Number:

4. Click “Generate” to create a random number sequence that will be the employee’s badge number.

5. Copy the badge number to the third-party program that creates your magnetic cards. If you already have cards created, enter the number recorded in the card in the badge number field. This field only accepts numbers.

Updating the employee information on the POS

6. After all necessary badge numbers are created and saved, go to the store’s POS and open the Manager page. Click “Update Users” to retrieve the updated information from MW:Central:

7. Reach out to MW:POS support to ask that the POS starts to require that the managers swipe their cards instead of entering their employee ID number and password when required. This configuration is specific for each POS terminal, so you may request that only one register requires a card swipe while the managers are being trained.

Note: Cashiers will continue to use their ID and password to check in. Managers also will still use their ID and password when checking in to ring in orders.
