Action Required: Activate Your Browser-Based Time Clock Kiosks

Every existing kiosk must be activated once after the latest update. It only takes a minute per kiosk.

Important: After the update, each Browser-Based Time Clock kiosk shows an Activate This Kiosk screen until an administrator activates it. Employees cannot clock in or out at that kiosk until then. This applies to every kiosk, even if you never used Browser Authorization. Activate each kiosk as soon as the update is live.

What Changed

Kiosks are activated with a codeBrowser-Based Time Clock kiosks are now added and activated with an activation code, the same way the Tablet App Time Clock and GOtime5 physical time clocks work. Only kiosks you add can be used, which gives you more security and control over your kiosk link.
Multiple kiosks, each with its own usersYou can set up as many kiosks as you need and choose who appears on each one. For example, an office kiosk for office staff and a warehouse kiosk for warehouse staff.
Browser Authorization is now GO Clock AuthorizationIt now applies only to the Browser-Based GO Clock and no longer controls the kiosk.

Step 1 Open the Kiosk on the Time Clock Computer

On the computer or tablet your employees use as the time clock, open the kiosk in the same browser as before. It shows Activate This Kiosk with a 4-digit Activation Code. Leave this page open; it refreshes automatically once the kiosk is activated.

Passkey (optional): Check Save a passkey on this device after it's activated before you add the kiosk. If the kiosk ever needs to be authorized again, click Authorize with Passkey on this screen instead of waiting for an administrator.

Step 2 Open the Browser-Based Time Clock Settings

Sign in to TimeTrakGO as an administrator. Go to the Feature Manager and, under Clocking Options, click Settings on the Browser-Based Time Clock card.

Step 4 Repeat for Each Kiosk

Repeat Steps 1 and 3 on every computer or tablet used as a kiosk. Each one appears in the Authorized Kiosks list with its description, an Online status, the browser and operating system, the date it was activated, its last activity, and who can clock in there.

Note: Activation is saved in that browser. Clearing browser data or using a private window will require the kiosk to be activated again.

Step 5 Choose Who Can Clock In (Optional)

Each kiosk is set to All users, so nothing changes for your employees unless you want it to. To limit a kiosk, click its edit icon and open the Allowed Users tab. Choose Specific Users / Groups, check the users or groups to include, and click Save Changes.

Groups stay current. Users added to a selected group later are included automatically.

Note: Users must also have Allow Time Clock Kiosk turned on in their user profile.
