Thanks for reaching out, @kstansbury.  

 

I have a solution for you! To limit the computers or locations from which team members can clock in and out, account administrators can set or remove authorizations. Team members trying to sign in or clock in from an unauthorized computer or location will receive an error message: "Your computer has not been authorized for employee time entry! See your administrator to authorize this computer."  This way, they will need to clock in from your kiosk, or app.  Here's how to authorize an individual computer:

  1. From the computer you want to authorize, go to Company Settings > Team Member > Access Restrictions.
  2. Select Authorize Individual Computers (by cookie) and then Save.
  3. Go to Feature Add-ons > Authorizations.
  4. In the Location field, enter a name, and select Authorize This Computer.

To read more on this process you can check out this detailed article: How to Restrict or Unrestrict TSheets Clock-in Computers or Locations.

 

I'd love to hear if this solution works for you! If you need additional help, I'm only a post away. Take care!

So, I have it set up this way and the staff still can clock in via their computers and I only want them to clock in and out via the Kiosk.

 

 

How can I set it where they can only clock in via the Kiosk and nowhere else?

 

Thank you

Hi there, kstansbury.

 

We'll have to authorize the system so it will allow your employees to clock in and clock out through the kiosk device. Let me guide you how:

 

  1. In TSheets, go to Feature Add-ons > Time Clock Kiosk.
  2. Select Add Device, and record the authorization code.
  3. On the device the TSheets Time Clock Kiosk app is installed on, launch the app.
  4. In the Authorize This Device window, enter the code, and select Authorize.

 

I've added this article for more information: Manage TSheets Time Clock Kiosks.

 

Let me know if ever you need help. Keep safe!
