PIN
You can require your employees to enter a personal 4-digit PIN to clock in via a kiosk.
PIN is a paid feature, that you can enable by upgrading your account to any paid plan.
Enabling PIN #
When you create or edit a kiosk, you need to enable the “Requires PIN” checkbox. If you don’t, everyone can select anyone’s profile and clock in for them.
Each kiosk also comes with a Universal PIN that allows you to clock in and out for anyone on the kiosk (except admin).
For example, you can tell this Universal PIN code to a shift manager so they can clock in for others if needed.
Entering PIN #
Each person automatically gets a personal PIN code.
When an employee opens a kiosk, they select their profile, and enter their personal PIN code to clock in.
A person can also enter that kiosk’s Universal PIN code (if you know it), which overrides an employee’s personal PIN code.
You can’t sign into admin’s profile with Universal PIN.
