Setting up and activating KIOSK

The KIOSK app does not start accepting clock-ins the moment it is installed. A freshly configured device sends an activation request and waits for someone with permission to confirm that it really stands in that location. That way nobody can attach their own tablet to your company.

Configuring the device

Install the Proplanum KIOSK app on a device that will stay in the location permanently.
On first launch, pick the organisation and the location.
The device sends an activation request and shows the waiting screen.

Caution: Until it is approved, KIOSK accepts no clock-ins. The waiting screen refreshes by itself — there is no need to restart the app.

Approving the request

The request goes to the manager's mobile app. It shows on the dashboard under "Requires attention" as "KIOSK requests", and in the Employees tab.

Open the mobile app and go to the request list.

Tap a request to see the details: device name, system, app version and the location it claims.

Choose "Activate" if the device checks out, or "Reject" if you do not recognise it.

Important: Only activate devices you configured yourself or know about from the team. A rejected request does not block the device permanently — after being configured again it will ask once more.

Connecting readers

Once activated, connect the readers if the location is going to use them. You can do it from the KIOSK home screen or from the admin panel.

KIOSK detects which methods are available on its own — the fingerprint and card tiles appear only once the matching reader is connected.

Deactivating a device

When a tablet moves to another location or goes out of service, deactivate it in the admin panel (the padlock in the top right, opened with a manager PIN). "Deactivate device" sits at the bottom of the panel.

Remember: Reader configuration and day-to-day use of the panel are covered in The KIOSK admin panel.
