One Click Kiosk Mode

  • Author: Aaron G.

This feature provides the ability to clock in and out only once per day and have VeriTime fill in the rest of the clock events automatically, based on the employee’s expected schedule in VeriTime.

Note: To use the One Click Kiosk Mode, the User cannot have an Auto Apply Break time on their Work Schedule. If the Auto Apply checkbox is selected and the Work Schedule includes a Break From and To time designated as an Unpaid Break, VeriTime will create clock events that respect the unpaid break time, and then will also deduct the break time a second time due to the Auto Apply setting. Before activating the One Click Kiosk option, pull up each of the Work Schedules for the employee group and uncheck the Auto Apply option.

The One Click Kiosk option is ideal for individuals who consistently work two or more positions in a day charged to different account codes, but can be used for any employee with a set schedule in VeriTime.

Another Note: In order for this functionality to operate properly, each employee must have a Work Schedule assigned to them that delineates their multiple jobs and break times. The One Click Kiosk Mode will only operate for an employee who is scheduled to work on that day. In the event that an employee is called in to work on a day on which they are not scheduled, an error message will be displayed indicating that the user cannot clock in because he or she is not scheduled to work that day, and VeriTime will not allow them to clock-in.
There is also a secondary option to the function that allows the system to override the feature if you wish to allow for these instances for certain employees, (e.g. maintenance employees who are on call for emergencies).

This setting can be found under User Templates.

Choose the User Template linked to the group of Users you wish to grant access to this function. To activate this kiosk option click the checkbox next to “One Click Kiosk Mode”.

A second option will appear when the box is selected labeled “Can Override?”. Only activate the override option for employee groups you wish to allow to clock in on days when they are not scheduled to work.

This secondary option will allow the employee to bypass the one click option and use the Kiosk in the fully functional mode. When this option is selected, an additional link will be shown on the Kiosk labeled “Standard mode”. Clicking on that link will revert the Kiosk to the full-function version where the employee can select the job they wish to clock-in for and continue as usual.

When the “One Click Kiosk Mode” option is selected on a User Profile, all Users associated with that particular profile will see that version of the kiosk after login, or once they launch the Time Clock on their employee portal (permissions dependent).

  • VeriTime will display only a single button labeled “Clock In” when the system finds no clock in punch for the day for the User, or will display “Clock Out” when a previous clock in event is found. The User simply clicks on the button and the appropriate punch will be recorded.
  • When the “Can Override” option is also set on the User Profile, the “Standard mode” link will appear in the bottom left hand corner of the window. When the User clicks the link, the kiosk will revert to the fully functional version.
