Creating Kiosks for Group Punching

OnTheClock administrators can set up a kiosk where multiple employees can punch in, mimicking an old school time clock. This is a convenient way to set up a tablet or computer as a clock-in location, as it eliminates the need for employees to log in to their individual accounts. Your employees will need ID numbers in order to clock in and out.

Setting Up the Kiosk

The initial set up for kiosk mode must be done via browser.

Step 1: Log in as an administrator.
Step 2: Navigate to “Settings,” then “Time Clock Settings.”
Step 3: Under “Kiosk Settings,” toggle Kiosk Punching on.

Once these steps are completed, you can register specific devices as kiosks. You can also customize your kiosk by uploading your company’s logo.
