Setting Up the Facial Recognition Tablet App Time Clock
Turn a tablet into a time clock: install the Kiosk App, activate the device, and get employees punching.
Whether your employees are in an office, a remote warehouse, or a shop, the TimeTrakGO Facial Recognition Tablet App Time Clock is a simple way to track payable hours. The Kiosk App turns a tablet such as an iPad or Android device into an employee time clock, with optional self-service access to daily, weekly, and pay period hours.
Step 1 Turn On the Feature
To use the Tablet App Time Clock, you must first turn on the feature. Go to the Feature Manager. Under Clocking Options, turn on the toggle for the Tablet App Time Clock.
Step 2 Install the Kiosk App
The TimeTrakGO Kiosk App is available on Google Play and the Apple App Store. Search the app store for TimeTrakGO. You can also find both store links under Download the App on the Tablet App Time Clock settings page.
Note: The Kiosk App is only available on larger devices such as tablets. It is not available for cell phones.
Or choose the button for your device:
Step 3 Sign In for the First Time
The first time you open the Kiosk App, you will be prompted to sign in. Press Sign In to begin the setup process.
Step 4 Enter Your TimeTrakGO Website
Enter your TimeTrakGO website. This is typically your company name without spaces, and it is the same website you use to log into the TimeTrakGO web application.
When the Kiosk App validates the website, press Continue.
Step 5 Activate the Device
Each Kiosk device must be activated in the TimeTrakGO web application. The Kiosk App shows an activation code that links the device to your account.
In the web application, go to the Feature Manager and click Settings on the Tablet App Time Clock. On the Authorized Devices tab, click + Add Device.
In the Add New Tablet Device window, enter the 4-digit Activation Code shown on the tablet and a Description, then click Activate Device.
Tip: Use the location name, such as Warehouse, Lobby, or Front Desk iPad, as the description.
Step 6 Start Using the Kiosk
Once the device connects to your TimeTrakGO account, the Time Clock Kiosk shows that it is Ready to GO.
Step 7 Create a PIN
Each user needs a 4-digit PIN. When a user selects their name, they are prompted to create their own PIN, then repeat it to confirm.
Step 8 Clock In or Out
After confirming the PIN, the user enters it one more time. The time clock options then appear, and the user clicks the button they need, such as Clock In or Clock Out.
Self-Service
If self-service is enabled, employees can view their time cards and their daily, weekly, and pay period hours. To turn it on, open the Kiosk Configuration tab on the Tablet App Time Clock settings page and turn on Employee Self-Service.
