This section only needs to be configured if employees use kiosks for checking in and out. If kiosks

are **not** being used, modifying any of these fields does **not** adversely affect the

*Attendances* application.

selections were configured for the :ref:`Kiosk Mode <attendances/kiosk-mode>` setting. Select how

barcodes are scanned at the kiosk, either with a dedicated barcode :guilabel:`Scanner`, or the
|
||||
device's :guilabel:`Front Camera`, or :guilabel:`Back Camera`.
|
||||
- :guilabel:`Employee PIN Identification`: activate this option if employees should use a unique PIN
|
||||
to check in. PINs are configured on each individual employee record. Refer to the
|
||||
:doc:`../hr/employees/new_employee` documentation for more information on setting up PINs.
|

- :guilabel:`Display Time`: set the duration (in seconds) the check in and check out confirmation
|
||||
screen remains on the kiosk before going back to the main check in screen.
|
||||
- :guilabel:`Attendance Kiosk Url`: Odoo generates a unique web address (URL) to use a device as a
|
||||
kiosk without having to sign in to the Odoo database. When setting up a kiosk device, navigate to
|
||||
this unique web address in a web browser to present the Attendances application kiosk.

These kiosk URLs are **not** secured with any type of access code. Anyone who has the URL can

access the Attendances application kiosk. If the URL is compromised for any reason, such as in

the event of a security breach, click :guilabel:`Generate a new Kiosk Mode URL`, located

Kiosk mode
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
Some companies may opt to use a dedicated device (a laptop or desktop PC, a tablet, or a mobile
|
||||
phone) for employees to check in and check out from. Kiosk mode is used for these scenarios.
|
||||
|
||||
.. important::
|
||||
If users check in and out using either a badge or an RFID, then an accessible device in kiosk
|
||||
mode **must** be available to check in and check out using these two methods.
|
||||
|
||||
Entering kiosk mode is only available for users with specific :ref:`access rights
|
||||
<attendances/access-rights>`.
|
||||
|
||||
Kiosk mode can be activated in three different ways:
|
||||
|
||||
#. Navigate to the :guilabel:`Attendances` application, and click :guilabel:`Kiosk Mode` in the top
|
||||
menu. The device then enters kiosk mode.
|
||||
#. Navigate to the :menuselection:`Attendances application --> Configuration`. In the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Kiosk Settings` section, click on the link in the :guilabel:`Attendance Kiosk Url`
|
||||
field. A new tab opens in kiosk mode. It is recommended to close the database tab to keep the
|
||||
database secure.
|
||||
#. Navigate to the :menuselection:`Attendances application --> Configuration`. In the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Kiosk Settings` section, click :guilabel:`Copy` next to the link beneath the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Attendance Kiosk Url` field. Paste this URL into a web browser on the kiosk device and
|
||||
navigate to it.

||||

||||
:align: center
|
||||
:alt: The Attendances Kiosk URL field in the settings section of the Attendances application.
|
||||
|
||||
As a security measure, once a device is in kiosk mode, it is not possible to exit kiosk mode and go
|
||||
back into the database without signing back in. To exit kiosk mode, click the back button in the web
|
||||
browser. This logs the user out of the database, and returns to the main log in screen. This adds an
|
||||
extra layer of security, preventing anyone from accessing the database.
|
||||
|
||||
Badge
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
To check in or out using a badge, tap the :guilabel:`📷 (camera) Tap to scan` image in the center of
|
||||
the kiosk. Then, scan the barcode on the badge using the method configured in the :ref:`kiosk
|
||||
settings <attendances/kiosk-settings>` section of the configuration menu. Options are a dedicated
|
||||
barcode scanning device, or the kiosk's front or back camera. Once the barcode is scanned, the
|
||||
employee is checked in or out, and a :ref:`confirmation message <attendances/confirmation>` appears
|
||||
with all the check in or check out information.

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
RFID
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
To check in or out using an RFID key fob, simply scan the fob with an RFID reader. Once scanned, the
|
||||
employee is then either checked in or checked out, and a :ref:`confirmation message
|
||||
<attendances/confirmation>` appears with all the check in or check out information.
|
||||
|
||||
Manually
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Users who do not have a scannable badge or an RFID fob can manually check in and out at a kiosk. Tap
|
||||
the :guilabel:`Identify Manually` button on the kiosk, and a screen with all the employees that can
|
||||
be checked in or out appears. This is the same view as in the *Employees* application dashboard. Tap
|
||||
on the person, and they are either checked in or checked out, and a :ref:`confirmation message
|
||||
<attendances/confirmation>` appears.
|
||||
|
||||
When a large number of employees appear in the list, making scrolling inefficient, there are two
|
||||
ways to quickly find a specific person:
|
||||
|
||||
- :guilabel:`Search...`: tap on the :guilabel:`Search...` field and enter the person's name. As the
|
||||
name is typed in, the matching results are displayed on the screen.
|
||||
- :guilabel:`Department`: to quickly filter the presented employees, tap on a department to display
|
||||
only those employees that are part of that department. The :guilabel:`Departments` are listed on
|
||||
the left side of the screen, and the number at the end of each department indicates how many
|
||||
employees are part of the department, and is displayed when selected.
|
||||
|
||||
PIN
|
||||
~~~
|
||||
|
||||
If the :guilabel:`Employee PIN Identification` option was activated in the :ref:`kiosk settings
|
||||
<attendances/kiosk-settings>` section of the configuration menu, the employee is prompted to enter a
|
||||
PIN when manually checking in or out.
|
||||
|
||||
After the employee is selected, a number pad appears with a message. When checking in,
|
||||
:guilabel:`(Employee) Welcome! Please enter your PIN to check in` appears above the numbers. When
|
||||
checking out, :guilabel:`(Employee) Want to check out? Please enter your PIN to check out` appears
|
||||
above the numbers.
|
||||
|
||||
Tap in the PIN using the number pad, then tap :guilabel:`OK` when done. The employee is then checked
|
||||
in or out, and a :ref:`confirmation message <attendances/confirmation>` appears.

Confirmation message
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
When an employee checks in or out, a confirmation message appears with all the check in or check out
|
||||
information. When checking in, a welcome message appears, as well as the date and time of check in.
|
||||
An :guilabel:`Hours Previously Today: HH:MM` field also appears, displaying any time already logged
|
||||
for that employee for the day. If no time has already been logged, the value displayed is `00:00`.
|
||||
Beneath the message is an :guilabel:`OK` button. To exit the screen before the preset time in the
|
||||
kiosk, tap the :guilabel:`OK` button.
|
||||
|
||||
When checking out, the screen displays a goodbye message, with the date and time of check out, and
|
||||
the total hours logged for the day. Beneath the message is a :guilabel:`Goodbye` button. To exit the
|
||||
screen before the preset time, tap the :guilabel:`Goodbye` button.
