Getting the most out of the Time Clock app

Best practices using Timetastic's Time Clock app

The Time Clock app turns your tablet into a dedicated clock-in and clock-out terminal for employees. Here are a few tips to help you get everything set up smoothly.


Install the Time Clock app

  1. Download the Timetastic Time Clock app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store

  2. Sign into your Rota & Time Clock account

  3. Click the '+' icon in the top-right corner

  4. Enter a name for the terminal

  5. Select the location(s) that can use the terminal

  6. Click 'Save'

  7. Click 'Activate'.

Your terminal is now ready for employees to use.


Use kiosk mode (recommended)

If your tablet supports kiosk mode, we strongly recommend turning it on.

Kiosk mode locks the tablet to a single app, helping to prevent employees from accidentally closing the Time Clock app or accessing other applications and settings.

Most modern Android tablets and iPads offer some form of kiosk or guided access mode.


Choose the right hardware

The Time Clock app works on most modern tablets, but choosing a reliable device will make day-to-day use much easier.

For recommendations on tablets, wall mounts and stands, see our guide on recommended hardware for fixed terminals.

A few extra tips

  • Keep the tablet plugged in whenever possible

  • Use a stable internet connection

  • Mount the tablet in a visible and easily accessible location

  • Consider using a secure wall mount or stand to protect the device

  • Avoid regularly clearing browser or device data if you're using the tablet for clocking purposes.
