  • You have to use at least one method and can use up to three methods in parallel


Note: You can't use Punch Clock and Kiosk PIN/Kiosk QR code at the same time. As soon as you enable the Kiosk it will replace the Punch Clock.





Time sheet management



If you select time sheet management your employees can create and edit their time entries under Attendance > My Attendance. This applies to the desktop version and the mobile app. 




 


Note: Activating time sheet management will drive the behavior of the attendance widget in the home screen. If enabled it will allow your employees to enter their time manually.

Kiosk PIN Code


Consider that, at the moment, employees under a policy with Kiosk enabled, will not be able to use the punch clock. This means that punch clock on mobile will not appear, and on desktop appears as read only. Your employees receive a unique PIN Code which they then can use to check in and out via the Kiosk terminal.


The moment you add employees to a policy with the preferred tracking method PIN code, they will receive a notification with their PIN code via email, Push notification or Kenjo Desktop Notification.

Kiosk QR Code


Consider that, at the moment, employees under a policy with Kiosk enabled, 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. Employees need to scan a QR Code on the Kiosk with their smartphones to initiate the check in / out process.

Tracking Attendance via API


If you want to track time just via API or Import you simply don't select any other methods. In this way you can ensure that your employees can not change the entries you reported via the API or Import and also prevent conflicts with other time tracking methods. 


To get more information about the API integration please see the following article: API Integration





Kenjo mobile App


All time tracking methods except Kiosk PIN code can be used with a mobile device and the Kenjo app. In order to use Kiosk QR code, employees must have a mobile device to scan the Kiosk's QR code. Watch the video to see how employees can check in via mobile phones.
