What is Kiosk Mode?
Kiosk mode is a software configuration that restricts a digital device (like an iPad or Android tablet) to run a single specific application, effectively turning a general-purpose device into a dedicated time clock station.
Setting Up a Time Clock Kiosk
- 1Install the time tracking app on a tablet.
- 2Activate Kiosk Mode (Guided Access on iOS, Pin App on Android).
- 3Mount the device in a common area for employees to use.
Centralized Tracking
Kiosks are ideal for manufacturing floors or breakrooms where employees may not have work phones. They maintain a central point of control for attendance.
