Set up the kiosk on a venue tablet
- Admin
- Venue Lead
Short answer
Copy the kiosk link from Settings › Organisation, open it on the venue tablet, sign in as an Admin or Venue Lead, and pick the venue. Staff then clock in with their name and PIN.
Find the kiosk link
- In the Dashboard, open Settings › Organisation.
- Find the Kiosk card. It shows the kiosk address, kiosk.rouxdashboard.com.
- Click Copy link if you want to send the address to the tablet.
Open the kiosk on the tablet
- On the tablet, open the kiosk address in Safari or Chrome.
- Sign in with an Admin or Venue Lead email and password. The sign-in page says Roux Kiosk at the top.
- You see Which site is this iPad for? Pick the venue this tablet sits in.
- Tap Confirm site.
The kiosk now shows the staff list for that venue. The tablet remembers the venue, so you only do this once.
Add the kiosk to the home screen
The Kiosk card in Settings › Organisation lists the same steps.
- Open the kiosk link in Safari or Chrome on the tablet.
- Open the browser menu and choose Add to Home Screen.
- Launch the kiosk from the home screen icon. It is called Roux Kiosk.
Change the venue or sign out
- To pick a different venue, tap Change venue on the staff list. This button only shows when you can choose from more than one venue.
- To sign out, tap the sign-out icon on the staff list, then tap Sign out to confirm.
If the kiosk loses its connection
- The kiosk keeps working offline. It shows You are offline, and each clock is saved on the tablet.
- Saved clocks send by themselves when the connection comes back. You can also tap Send now.
- A staff member can only clock offline on a tablet where they have used their PIN before.
- A clock older than 48 hours can't be sent. The kiosk asks you to add it by hand. See Fix a timesheet.
If the kiosk asks for a manager
If the kiosk shows Kiosk needs re-setup, the sign-in has expired. Tap Manager sign-in and sign in again as an Admin or Venue Lead.
