Attendance set-up, kiosk & devices
Set how your staff check in: from their phone (only at the store's location, if you wish), on a kiosk tablet at the door with a PIN, or from a fingerprint device's file. Link each employee to their user, device number and PIN, and set the overtime rates, Ramadan hours and public holidays. Part of the Attendance & shifts add-on.
Steps
- Open Attendance & shifts → Set-up, kiosk & devices. Under Check-in from phones choose whether staff may check in from their phone, and turn on Only at the store's location; press Use where I am now while at the store and set the distance.
- Under People press Edit on each employee: pick their user (for My check-in), the number they have on the fingerprint device and a kiosk PIN of 4 to 6 digits.
- Under Kiosk tablet at the door press Open the kiosk on the tablet, or Copy its link. Staff tap their name, type their PIN and are checked in or out, whichever is due.
- Under Public holidays press Add the national days, and add Eid and the other moon holidays when they are announced. Set Ramadan's dates and how many minutes shorter a day is.
- Under Fingerprint device file press Choose the file… and pick the CSV or text file the device saved. Each punch checks the person in or out; repeated punches are counted once. Press Save settings when you change the sections above.
Tips
- Five wrong PINs lock that person on the kiosk for 15 minutes. New link stops the old kiosk link at once, for when it was shared by mistake.
- Overtime follows your country's labour law. Turn on Use my store's own rates only when a contract pays more than the law asks.
- In a demo store the kiosk opens in the same browser tab and every person's PIN is 2580; the location is kept but not checked.
