What is Kiosk Mode?

Pro tip: In the Admin, open the Reports tab and create a Worker report. Include the following columns:

- Name

- Email

- Kiosk PIN

Export the report to quickly access all worker details in one place.

 Overview

When you start using Corfix, it helps to think about how it will be used in the field. A good question to ask is: "Will everyone have and use their own device?" If the answer is no, Kiosk Mode is what you're looking for.

Kiosk Mode is the idea of having one device on-site — usually stationary, or managed by a supervisor or foreman — that a whole crew can share. It gives you flexibility with adoption and is a lifesaver when workers forget their phone or don't have one at all.

There are two types of Kiosk Mode, and both are only available in the Corfix app:

1. Signatures on Forms — one shared device is passed from worker to worker so each person can sign off on a Form.
2. Timekeeping Kiosk — a true kiosk setup where a device is locked down to a single screen and workers punch in and out on it. This one you have to turn on by entering your Kiosk PIN, and you'll need the PIN again to turn it off.

Kiosk PINs — the key to Kiosk Mode

A Kiosk PIN is a 4-digit code that Corfix generates automatically when a user is created. Either an admin or the worker can change this PIN at any time from the user's profile.

If your workers don't log in themselves and are set to Active for Kiosk, you'll need to let them know what their PIN is.

Best practices for setting PINs

Instead of handing out the random auto-generated PIN, a couple of options can make PINs much easier to share with your crew in the field:

• The last 4 digits of their phone number
• Their employee number

Type 1: Signatures for Forms

One-time setup

1. Click My Account Details from the left menu.
2. Click the edit (Pencil icon) button next to Company Details.
3. Under Settings, turn on "Require PIN for Kiosk Mode" and click Save.

Using it in the field

1. In the Corfix app, open the Forms page from the quick menu at the bottom.
2. Open a form that is Incomplete — meaning signatures are still needed.
3. Tap Kiosk Mode. The supervisor enters their Kiosk PIN.
4. The phone can now be passed from worker to worker. Each worker enters their own PIN before signing.

Type 2: Timekeeping Kiosk

The Timekeeping Kiosk is always available — there's no setup required, other than making sure you know the PIN for the account. You'll need that PIN to exit Kiosk Mode.

Turning it on

1. In the Corfix app, open Time from the bottom quick menu.
2. Tap Supervisor Actions.
3. Select Kiosk Mode.
4. Enter PIN.
5. Select the project.

This locks the app into Timekeeping Kiosk Mode. You'll need the PIN again to exit.

Prevent "buddy punching" (optional security layer)

If you don't want workers punching in and out for each other, you can add a layer of security by requiring a PIN on every punch:

1. Go to Timekeeping.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Turn on "PIN Required for Kiosk Punch Clock".

With this on, each worker will have to key in their own PIN when they punch in and out. Layer this with the Photo Punch In / Out timekeeping setting to really ensure people are not Punch in for others!
