Tap and Go: The new way to login – rolling out now
Tap and Go is the Trust’s newest system to help colleagues to login to Trust computers with a simple tap of a Smartcard.
The system which is currently being rolled out in all clinical areas across the Trust will change the way colleagues login to computers with all clinical devices being fitted with a card reader where colleagues can simply tap their Smartcard and input a short pin to gain access. Similarly, when needing to logout and lock the computer, a simple tap of a Smartcard will secure the machine for the next user.
What do you need to do?
As Tap and Go is rolled out, colleagues will need to enrol on to the system, this can simply be done by tapping your Smartcard on one of the scanners provided and following the on screen instructions to enrol or alternatively if you need some help, you can come along to one of the Unity Access Fairs between the 2 September and 14 September to enrol onto Tap and Go at the same time as checking your Unity login works.
Tap and Go deployment teams will also be touring the Trust ensuring that computers are fitted with card readers, if you need help with enrolment, one of the deployment team will be more than happy to help.
When do you need to enrol by?
Colleagues are encouraged to enrol on to Tap and Go as soon as possible, however the deadline for all colleagues to be enrolled on to the system is before Unity go-live.
If you have any issues with enrolling or logging in using Tap and Go, please contact the IT Service Desk on 0121 507 4050.
Using Tap and Go
When you have enrolled, all you need to do to login to a Tap and Go computer is to tap your smartcard on the reader and enter your pin. Before you logout, make sure you have signed and saved any records you have open then simply tap your card on the reader once again to securely log out.
