Clocking in
Kiosk mode
Turn a shared tablet into a big-type clock-in appliance: tap your name, optional PIN and photo, with a manager exit code to keep staff out of the rest of the app.
Kiosk mode turns a single shared tablet on the counter into a clock-in appliance. Staff tap their name on a big, glanceable roster to clock in or out — handy when not everyone has their phone to hand, or you want one obvious place to clock in.
Opening the kiosk
From Kiosk mode you get a QR code and a link. Scan the code with the tablet, or copy the link — both open the full-screen kiosk. You can also launch it on the device you are already on. The kiosk runs as its own shell-less screen, so there is no sidebar for staff to wander into.
Settings that shape the kiosk
- Require a PIN
- After tapping their name, staff type a personal PIN (set on each person's profile). This stops one person clocking in as another at the tablet. Off means one tap is enough.
- Require an identity photo
- Snap a quick webcam photo at clock-in to confirm who is there — a strong deterrent against cover-for-a-mate.
- Return to roster after
- How long the confirmation shows (2–12s) before the kiosk resets for the next person.
- Manager exit code
- 4–6 digits required to leave the kiosk. Without it, anyone could tap “Exit” and reach your pay and reports — so set one.
