What is the Raken Kiosk?
Traditionally the Raken app has allowed supervisors or foremen the ability to note the time a worker arrives and leaves on the job site. This can become complicated when working with a large team.
When Raken Kiosk is enabled on a local device workers can clock in and out of a job on their own. Workers can also log breaks, cost codes and shifts.
How to activate the Raken Kiosk?
The Raken Kiosk can be enabled by an account or project administrator on time policy. Once enabled, a Project Manager, Project Admin, or Account Admin with the Raken App in the field can open the Raken App and turn on Kiosk Mode. Below are the steps to activate the kiosk feature for employees in a Raken account.
Company Level
Log into the Raken Web App.
Click on the Company on the left side of the page.
Click Time Settings in the menu that appears.
Select Policies from the sub menu that appears.
Click the Manage policies button in the top right corner of the page.
Select the policy that you would like to activate the Kiosk feature for.
In the Settings menu you will see a section for Time Tracking and more specifically an option to toggle the Kiosk Mode. (Detailed Supervisor entries must be enabled)
Click the Save button at the top of the page.
Follow the steps detailed in Enabling Kiosk Mode in the Field.
Enabling Kiosk Mode in the Field
Once the Raken Kiosk has been enabled in the Time Settings -> Policy menu a Team Member can turn on Kiosk Mode on their mobile device.
Open the Raken Mobile App.
In the Project Tools menu select the project for which Kiosk will be used.
Tap the Kiosk tool icon.
The Team Member setting up the Kiosk tool will create a unique four-digit pin to ensure that Kiosk mode is locked.
A page will appear with the names of those people assigned to the project.
Workers can then select their name from the list and clock in and out, log breaks, log tasks and log shift.
If the person who enables kiosk on mobile forgets their pin they can reset it by tapping More>Settings>Profile and adjust their pin as needed.
