Assigning contactless cards

A contactless card is the most convenient credential wherever employees already wear a badge on a lanyard. You assign it directly on the terminal — there is no card number to type in, because KIOSK reads it from the reader.

Assigning a new card

Open the admin panel and pick "Assign" next to "Assign a card or fingerprint".
Authorise with the location manager's PIN or QR code.
Pick the employee from the list.
The credentials screen shows what the employee already has.

Tap "Assign a new card" — the reader switches to waiting mode.

Hold the new card against the reader and confirm the assignment.

Once confirmed, KIOSK shows a success message.

Caution: Assigning a new card permanently deactivates the previous one. The old card stops working immediately — that is deliberate, in case it was lost.

A card belonging to someone else

If you present a card already assigned to another employee, KIOSK refuses. The message is deliberately generic — the terminal stands in a public place and does not reveal whose card it is.

Deactivating a card

On the credentials screen every active card has a "Deactivate" button. Use it when someone loses a card and you have no replacement yet — until a new one is issued they can clock in with a PIN or a QR code.

Important: Every credential operation is written to the event log together with the person who authorised it — you can always see who issued a card and when.
