Person.XML (Offline Validation Document)

The Person XML is an offline validation document that serves as a local database of time reporters that are allowed to use that particular terminal.  The document is stored locally on a terminal and is used for validation purposes when the terminal is in offline mode. The Person XML also stores whether each time reporter is required to log in with a finger scan (biometric validation). The following events will trigger the server to create/update the Person XML on an online terminal that has Offline Person Validation enabled:

1. The TRIGGER_OFFLINE_VALIDATION_DOC_TRANSFER service is run.

2. The Document Transfer button in the Terminal Monitor form is used to trigger the transfer of the latest offline person data to individual terminals.

3. The terminal is issued a Reload Configuration command.

4. The terminal is restarted/rebooted.

You can specify the maximum amount of records that can be stored in the Person.XML document. The value is enabled by selecting the setting MAX_PERSON_RECORDS in the Terminal Setting form. You should not enter more records than the amount listed in the table below. These are the maximum number of person records allowed for a particular terminal. If you do not specify an amount, or if you specify an invalid amount, these values will be used:
