What is Clock-in station?

A Clock-in station is a shared device (tablet or smartphone) that employees use to register their working time.

How does it work?

Employees type in their unique code to start a time entry and enter the code again to finish it.
It’s a simple way to monitor worktime without logging into the app.

How to set up Clock-in station

To set up a Clock-in station, navigate to Configuration > Attendance > Clock-in station.


From there, you can add a new device and connect it with a unique code.

In the next section, we’ll walk through the configuration step by step.

Manage

From the Manage section you can enable or disable the Clock-in station feature. Once you turn it on, you will be able to start the configuration process. If you no longer need this feature, you can also turn it off in the same place.

Setup

Once you turn on the clock in station, you can configure the clock in station.

Add a new device

In the Device login codes section, you can click Add new device to generate a unique 9-digit code for your device. This process can be repeated for every device you want to connect.

Sign in on your device

On your tablet (or other preferred device), open a web browser and use the link displayed in the Setup section. Enter the generated code to sign in and link the device with your Clock-in station.

Turn on kiosk mode

You can also enable kiosk mode on your device. This restricts the device to the Clock-in station only, preventing access to other apps or functions.

Access

In the Access tab you can decide who is allowed to use the Clock-in station.

By default, it is enabled for all employees. If you want to restrict access, you can assign it in three ways:

  • by selecting individual employees by name,

  • by choosing a department or group,

  • by assigning a location.

Customization

In the Customization tab, you can adjust the look and feel of your Clock-in station.
You can:

  • upload a logo

  • add a welcome message,

  • choose a theme.

📌 Tip: You can set your Clock-in station timer color in Company > Brand color settings.

At the bottom of the page, you can preview how the Clock-in station will look in both light and dark modes.

Employee Codes

In the Employee Codes section, you can view the Clock-in station codes generated for employees.
This feature is especially useful if an employee forgets their code — you can quickly look it up here.

Enhance your setup

The steps above are enough to get your Clock-in station running. These optional improvements make it even more convenient and secure:

Install as an app

You can install the Clock-in station as a progressive web app (PWA) for easier access. Once installed, it behaves like a regular app.

Open the Clock-in station in your browser and select Add to Home Screen or Install (depending on the browser). Learn how to install a PWA.

Turn on kiosk mode

Kiosk mode locks the device to the Clock-in station so employees cannot use other apps.

📌 Note: The process may vary slightly depending on your Android device and software version (e.g. Samsung, Xiaomi).

Keep the screen always on

To prevent the screen from turning off while in use, adjust your device settings:

  • iOS → option available when configuring Guided Access.

  • Android → configure in the device’s Display settings.
