  • Employees approach the kiosk and position their mobile with the QR ID facing the kiosk's scanner screen.

  • The kiosk scans the QR code and clocks in the employee.

  • If your settings require capturing digital signatures or photos:

    • The kiosk will prompt the employee to get closer for a photo capture.
