Enable employees to checkin/out via the Kiosk

Modified on Tue, 18 Jul 2023 at 11:38 AM

In this article, you will learn how to choose the employees you want to check in and out using the Kiosk.


Consider that, at the moment, the employees for what you enable the Kiosk, will not be able to use the punch clock. This means that,

  • If you enable the QR code: the punch clock will be replaced by the QR code reader. 
  • If you enable the PIN code: the punch clock on mobile will not appear, and on desktop will only appear as read only. 


Only Admins and HR Admins will be able to use both methods: Punch clock and Kiosk.


At this point, you should already have:

✅ Activated the Kiosk app.

Choose the employees that will be able to check in via the Kiosk by following the next steps:

  • Start by going to ATTENDANCE POLICIES > Policies
  • Click on (+) Add policy
  • Add a name to the policy and an optional description
  • Choose the tracking method for these employees


Note: The tracking method that will appear available will depend on the ones you chose when you configured the Kiosk when you activated the Kiosk in Kenjo.


  • Choose whether Attendance entries can be edited


Note: If selected, all employees who are assigned to this policy won't be able to edit their own attendance manually.

Once you have created your policy, you will see it listed. If you click on the three dots, you will be able to edit, manage employees or delete the policy.
