Set up the Guest user

Before setting up a guest user option, you must configure how you want the function to behave in Equitrac. The workflow that you assign to the guest user function is configured in the same way as any workflow. Bear in mind what you want the button to do, and create a workflow to match that functionality. For instructions on creating workflows, see Manage scan and user workflows.

  1. In System Manager, go to Configuration > Devices > Embedded devices.
  2. To allow override of the global device settings (and at device-embedded level) thereby allowing or disallowing Unified Client for Toshiba-equipped device guest user functionality regardless of the default setting, choose from the following list under Enable guest user:
    • Default uses the default settings for Guest users
    • Enabled activates Guest user functionality for this device regardless of the default setting
    • Disabled deactivates Guest user functionality for this device regardless of the default setting
  3. Configure the Guest button. You must configure which text appears on the Guest button, as well as the workflow associated with the button. You must also configure which user account is used for guest transactions:
    1. In System Manager, go to Configuration > Security and authentication > Guest user.
    2. In the Button title field, enter the text you want to appear on the button to guide users.
    3. In the Workflow container field, enter the container name associated with the button the Guest user presses to gain access.
      You can configure the Guest workflow container to your requirements. The workflow can contain only Guest-included workflows or standard workflows as well. The container must, however, use Global scope.
    4. Click Verify to ensure the Workflow Container provided is valid. This displays a dialog box that indicates either pass or fail.
    5. In the Guest user account field, enter the account leveraged when the Guest user button processes transactions.
    6. Click Verify to ensure the Guest user account provided is valid. This displays a dialog box that indicates either pass or fail.
    7. Click OK.
