Set up the office iPad for clock in and out
Turn your office iPad into the time clock so employees can punch in and out with their PIN, and no other device can.
By the end, your office iPad shows the PIN pad and your team can clock in and out on it. You do this once. You'll need the iPad in front of you and your admin login.
The setup has two halves: first you create a device link on your computer, then you open that link on the iPad to turn it into the kiosk.

Open the time clock
Select Go to Kiosk. The PIN pad appears, and your admin session is signed out so the iPad is safe to leave on the counter.
You're done
Back in Settings, the iPad now appears in the Kiosk Devices card with a green check. Your team can start punching in and out on it.
Only activate the office iPad
Do this on the shared office iPad — never on a personal phone or tablet. Any device you activate becomes a working time clock, so keep it to the one that stays in the office.
