Kiosk Mode is one of the three main ways of tracking time in BusyBusy. This article will cover how to use Kiosk Mode for Employees. If you haven’t already learned how to set up and use Kiosk Mode as an Admin, Manager or Supervisor, please click HERE for more information.

Getting Started

How to Clock In on the Kiosk:

Step One:

Click on your name from the list of employees.

Tip: You can use the magnifying glass icon in the upper right to search for your name.

*Good to Know:* Your company may require additional security features within the Kiosk, such as entering a Pin Code, and also Photo Verification. If a Pin Code is required, you will be assigned a pin number by your employer and will need to enter that number when prompted. If you don’t know your Pin Code, please reach out to your Administrator. If Photo Verification is required, you will be prompted to take a photo of yourself when Clocking In, and during any other clock actions that may require it, such as Going On Break, Switching, and Clocking Out. There may also be a PPE Scan required, which will verify that you have the required PPE items on and visible in the photo.

*Tip:* Make sure you take a clear photo of your face and upper torso, especially if PPE Scan is required. The first photo you take will become your profile photo, and it will use that image to compare and verify all of your future photos.

Step Two:

Once you have completed all the necessary security steps, you may be asked to select a Project, Cost Code and/or Equipment depending on what is required.

Note: Your employer may preset the job costing details such as Project, Cost Code and/or Equipment information. If so, you will not need to enter any of those details. You also won’t be able to change that information, and won’t be able to switch into any other job costing information.

Selecting the Job Costing Details

If Required: You will have to choose from the list of available Projects, Cost Codes, and/or Equipment.

Scroll through the list and select the correct information.

Tip: Click on the drop-down menu at the top of the list to narrow the choices down by Group if groups are available. You can also use the magnifying glass icon in the upper right to Search, and the three dots in the upper right to Sort.

If Not Required: You will see the option to SKIP in the upper right corner.

Step Three:

Once you have made your selections you will see a blue screen that has a check mark with your clock details listed underneath, indicating you are officially clocked in.

Way to go!!!

Viewing Your Timer

To view your Timer after clocking in, simply select your name from the main Kiosk employee list screen. You can also view your Timer directly after clocking in from the blue screen with the check mark. You will see the option to View Timer appear at the bottom of the screen.

What options are available?

The options you see on the Timer screen will depend on what features are enabled within the company account and within the Kiosk.

The time clock on the left side shows the current time.

Time Off

If time off is enabled within your company account, then you will be allowed to request time off.

To add a note simply click on the + ADD DESCRIPTION button.

Note: You may be required to add a description when you Switch and/or when you Clock Out, if your company has that requirement enabled.

Switch

If switching is enabled, you will be able to use the SWITCH button at the bottom of the Timer screen to switch your job costing details, such as Project, Cost Code and Equipment if those items haven’t already been preset.

Go On Break

If the break button is enabled, you will be able to use it to Go On Break, this is used for unpaid breaks only.
Click the BREAK button at the bottom of the Timer screen to begin your break.

To end your break simply click on the yellow END BREAK button.

Clock Out

To clock out at the end of the day simply click on the red CLOCK OUT button.

If there are any Daily Sign-Off questions that are required, you will need to answer those before you can clock out.

Once you answer the questions, click DONE or SAVE in the upper right corner.
You will see a blue screen with a check mark letting you know you have officially clocked out.
