Admin Pin (advanced options)
The admin pin is used to ensure only admin are given access to the Admin Menu for this station. This pin must only contain numbers and can be up to 10 digits.

IP Address/CIDR (advanced options)
IP addresses can be used to identify the location of the station device. For example, an iPad with IP address 24.59.21.115 can be created as a Station with the name “Site #3”. No setup is required on that iPad other than to open its browser and enter this link https://timeclock.telephonetimesheets.com. The fact that the traffic is coming from that specific IP address allows our system to know which station settings to use.

If you have multiple stations locations within a given area, you can assign multiple IP Addresses using the CIDR block. This makes all the stations connected to that CIDR block the exact same. For example, if there are multiple iPads connected to the CIDR block 27.56.91.235, they will all appear as the same station. This allows employees to check in from any station within a given area.

Enable kiosk mode (advanced options)
When enabled, your station can be used by multiple employees simultaneously. Kiosk mode is for stations that are located in a common area (e.g. front lobby desk) and are used by multiple employees to clock in and out. If this feature is disabled, it will act as a personal station.

Use PIN pad for employee selection (advanced options)
When enabled, employees must enter a PIN code when selecting an employee during check in/out via station. This ensures employees are only able to check in/out for themselves and not other employees. When disabled, a list of employees is displayed. 10-digit phone numbers, external IDs, and employee PIN codes may be entered.

Use PIN pad for job selection (advanced options)
When enabled, employees must enter a PIN code when selecting what job they are assigned to during check in/out via station. This ensures employees are only able to check in/out for specific jobs. When disabled, a list of jobs is displayed. When selecting a job via PIN pad, they must enter the job code assigned to that job.
