# Kiosk Setup

> Set up a shared clock-in kiosk for your workplace — generate a kiosk URL, require project/task selection, and manage admin access.

**Kiosk** mode turns any shared tablet or browser at your workplace into a self-serve clock-in/out station — employees walk up, enter a 4-digit PIN, and clock in without logging into the full app.

Go to **Settings → Kiosk**.

***

## Generating a Kiosk URL

1. Click **Generate Kiosk URL**
2. Copy the link (or open it directly) and load it on the device you want to use as a kiosk — a tablet mounted at the entrance, a shared laptop, etc.

The kiosk page has no navigation or sidebar — it's a full-screen, locked-down clock station. It auto-returns to the idle screen after 30 seconds of inactivity, and blocks accidental page refreshes or navigation away.

<Warning>
  Anyone with the URL can access the kiosk (identification still requires a valid PIN). If a device is lost or compromised, click **Regenerate URL** to invalidate the old link immediately — you'll need to reload the new URL on any kiosk devices.
</Warning>

## Setting your own Kiosk PIN

As a Company Admin, you have a separate 4-digit **Kiosk PIN** so you can reach **Admin Controls** at the kiosk (Clock In/Out, Today's Activity, and **Close Kiosk** to exit back to the normal app).

Set it from the same Settings → Kiosk page — you'll see a reminder banner if one isn't set yet.

<Note>
  Employees and managers set their own Kiosk PIN independently from their **Profile** page — you don't need to set PINs on their behalf.
</Note>

## Clock-in options

Two toggles control what an employee must do before clocking in at the kiosk:

| Setting                       | What it does                                                                                                                                       |
| ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Require project selection** | Employees must choose which project they're working on before clocking in.                                                                         |
| **Require task selection**    | Only available once project selection is required — employees must also pick at least one task (if the chosen project has tasks assigned to them). |

Leave both off if you just want a simple "clock in, no questions asked" kiosk.

## What managers and admins see at the kiosk

Kiosk behavior branches by role after PIN entry:

* **Employees** go straight into the clock-in/out flow.
* **Managers** land on a screen with Clock In/Out plus **View Team** — a live list of who's currently clocked in.
* **Admins** land on **Admin Controls**: Clock In/Out, **Today's Activity**, and **Close Kiosk**.

<Tip>
  "Today's Activity" and "View Team" are handy for a quick roll-call without opening the full app or reports.
