What is the Raken Kiosk?
Traditionally the Raken app has allowed supervisors or foremen the ability to note the time a worker arrives and leaves on the job site. This can become complicated when working with a large team.
When Raken Kiosk is enabled on a device workers can clock in and out of a job on their own. Workers can also log breaks, cost codes and shifts.
How to activate the Raken Kiosk?
The Raken Kiosk can be enabled by an account or project administrator across multiple projects in your organization or on a project-by-project basis. Once enabled, a person with the Raken app in the field can open the Raken app and turn on Kiosk Mode. Below are the steps to activate the kiosk feature for all projects in a Raken account or for an individual project.
