# Kiosk

Pair a wall tablet so people can check in with a six-digit code, with no login on the device and nothing to log out of.

A kiosk is a tablet on a wall that anyone can walk up to. Nobody signs into it: an employee types their own six-digit code and taps once. It is how a depot or a shop floor records attendance for people who do not sit at a desk.

![The Kiosk screen, headed Kiosk above the line Wall tablets for checking in and out. Nobody logs into them: an employee types their six-digit code and taps once, with a blue Kiosk button at the right. Five rows follow, each with a name, a green dot, the office beneath it and the words Never used: Birmingham Kiosk at Birmingham Trade Counter, Bristol Kiosk, Glasgow Kiosk, Rotherham Kiosk and Sheffield Kiosk. Each row carries a QR icon labelled Link and a red bin icon.](https://www.sorviai.com/help/worklink/settings/kiosk-list.png)

*A green dot means the pairing is live. Link reopens the QR code for that tablet.*

> At least one active work location, because a kiosk belongs to an office.

## Add and pair one

- Go to **Worklink Settings > Kiosk**, then select **+ Kiosk** at the top right.
- Give it a **Name** that says where it is, such as `Warehouse door`, and choose the **Office** it belongs to. Both are required, and only active offices are offered.
- Select **Save**. Worklink goes straight to the pairing screen, because pairing is the point of adding one.

  ![The pairing dialog for Birmingham Kiosk, subtitled Birmingham Trade Counter. It reads Scan this on the tablet, or open the link on it once. The kiosk stays on that page: there is no login and nothing to log out of, above a large QR code on a white panel.](https://www.sorviai.com/help/worklink/settings/kiosk-pairing.png)
- On the tablet, scan the QR code, or use **Copy link** and open the address there once.
- Leave the tablet on that page and select **Done** here.

## Reading the list

Each kiosk shows its name, its office and when it was last used. A green dot means active; a **Revoked** badge means the pairing has been withdrawn and the tablet no longer works. **Link** reopens the pairing screen at any time, which is what you use when a tablet is replaced or reset.

> **Warning:**
>
> **Revoking is how you retire a tablet, and it is immediate**
>
> Use it when a device is lost, replaced or moved out of the building. The address it was paired with stops working, so a tablet somebody walked off with becomes useless rather than a way into your attendance data.

> **Note:**
>
> **The six-digit code belongs to the person, not the device**
>
> One kiosk serves everybody who walks up to it, and a code identifies its owner at any kiosk in the organisation. A second tablet at another door needs pairing, but no per-person setup.
