Create a setup code in the admin app, install the timeclock on a tablet or phone, and register the device.
Use this guide when you want a shared tablet or phone for clock-ins.
The easiest order is: install the app first, then make a setup code, then register the device.
Install first
Install the timeclock app on the device before you enter the setup code.
If you install after setup, make a new code and register the device again.
In the app, open Schedule > Timeclocks.
Pick the location where the timeclock will live.
Click Generate setup code.
The code expires, so set up the device right away.
Open Timeclock Setup on the tablet or phone.
If the browser shows an install button, use it. If not, use the browser menu steps below.
Go to Timeclock Setup on the device that will stay at the timeclock.
You can type the setup code later or scan the QR code from the admin page.
Use Safari on iOS. The install prompt does not appear automatically there.
Apple shows this as Add to Home Screen from the Safari share menu.
Use Chrome or Edge. Tap Install App when the browser offers it.
Chrome may show the action near the address bar or in the browser menu.
Type the code from the admin app, or scan the QR code.
You can add a nickname like Front Counter iPad, then tap Register device.
After setup, the device opens Timeclock.
Staff can tap their name and clock in or out from this screen.
Fast fixes
If the code expires, create a new one in the admin app.
If the device was installed after setup, make a new code and register again.
If camera scan fails, type the code by hand.
If the screen looks like a normal browser tab, finish the PWA install so the device runs full screen.
