Unlock and Manage Time Kiosk Settings

Celayix Kiosk is locked by default but can be unlocked by supervisors to manage kiosk settings, sync status, and device configuration.

Celayix Kiosk is locked by default to prevent unauthorized access to kiosk settings and configuration options. Supervisors can unlock the device using their credentials to manage kiosk settings, review sync status, and update device configuration before returning the device to kiosk mode.

Unlock the Kiosk

The kiosk can be locked to prevent unauthorized access. When locked, a supervisor must log in through the Unlock device screen to regain access to kiosk settings.

Unlock Device

Tapping the lock icon on the keypad screen opens the Unlock device (Supervisor login) page within the app.

The unlock screen includes:

Username
Password

Only supervisor credentials associated with the kiosk’s client can be used to unlock the device. Employee (non-supervisor) credentials are not supported.

Time Kiosk Settings

The Time Kiosk Settings screen allows supervisors to configure device settings and view sync status before locking the device for employee use.

Sync Status

The Sync Status section shows whether the kiosk is connected and up to date.

It includes:

Online status indicates if the device is currently connected
Schedule data shows the sync status of employee data
Attendance data shows the sync status of clock activity (punch data)

These statuses indicate the current state of syncing for both employee data and clock activity:

Pending means sync has not started yet
In Progress means sync is currently running
Complete means sync finished successfully and data is up to date
Error means sync failed and data may not be up to date

If the kiosk is offline, syncing will not occur. If a status does not update or shows an error, please contact support.

Device Settings

Supervisors can configure the following:

Location (Client/Site):
Displays the assigned client and site for the kiosk
Device Name:
Identifies the kiosk (e.g., Floor 1 - Device 1)
Allow to Record a Break:
Enables or disables the ability for employees to record break punches

Save and Lock Kiosk

Once setup is complete, tap Save and Lock as Time Kiosk to:

Save all configuration changes
Lock the device into kiosk mode for employee use

After locking, supervisor login is required to access settings again.
