Fingerprint management application design guidelines
To ensure a consistent, high-quality biometric experience for users in Windows 7, we recommend that you follow the guidelines presented in this topic when you write a fingerprint management application (FMA).
This information applies to the following operating systems:
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Windows 7

This topic provides guidelines for installing a fingerprint management application (FMA) on Windows 7, and for FMA registration. |
|
Your fingerprint management application (FMA) should display your product or company logo when the user starts the FMA or switches from the Windows 7 user experience to your application’s experience. You can also brand your FMA to identify it as being supplied by the FMA provider. |

This topic provides guidelines for designing the fingerprint management application (FMA) enrollment process. |
|
This topic provides information about managing credentials for fingerprint management applications (FMAs), including showing enrolled fingerprints, authenticating before changing credentials, and deleting fingerprints. |
|
One of the goals of Windows Biometric Framework (WBF) is to enable a single machine to support multiple sensors. While the majority of computers in the near term will have only a single sensor, it is important for your fingerprint management application (FMA) to support multiple sensors. |
|
One of the basic goals of the Windows Biometric Framework (WBF) is to provide a consistent end-user experience. A well-designed fingerprint management application (FMA) should be able to handle errors and also address temporary service interruptions gracefully by showing appropriate messages. |
