Switch User Update / Change / Fix
planned
Crib Goch Outdoor World
Hello, we're not using this feature because... it's not easy enough. With what's coming I think it is even more important to start using this so that access can be restricted as it should be.
For clarity I mostly talking about shop floor retail environment.
We would love the ability to scan a lanyard with a barcode that we could print via the label printer.
I would prefer the till register to go to a screen / pop up with all the names of staff at that store, click their name and enter their pin ~4 numbers or whatever.
Or if they hit switch user.
And / or a lanyard with a barcode that overrides the button/pin combo.
This is totally separate to the 2FA that needs to be done once a day. Ideally everyone logs in when they start and they are then allowed to switch to their login, with whatever access they have been granted.
If we do this it would open up things like commission, help see who did what.

Hi everyone,
We've listented to feedback here and we've got some changes coming for Quick Switch.
We’re adding an optional way to Quick Switch using a single 4-digit 'Quick Code' instead of a Cashier Number and PIN. An Administrator can switch this on for the whole group on the Configuration page, and can then view or generate a Quick Code for each user on the Users page.
We’re also adding a “Print IDs” option on the Users page, which creates a PDF of scannable 2D barcodes or QR codes, so staff can wear one on a lanyard or badge and switch by scanning. This will work either for the new 'Quick Codes' option or for the existing Cashier Number + PIN combination.
This work is in progress and, pending successful testing, we’re targeting a release in mid-November.
Thank you for contributing your feedback to help us improve Cloud POS.
