Clocking in used to mean each employee signing into their own account — which on a shared tablet means a login and a logout for every punch of the day. A time clock tablet belongs to the store instead of to a person: it knows which store it is, and a PIN is all anyone needs to touch it.

Open Settings → Time clock kiosk
In your Lunix account go to Settings → Team Hub → Time clock kiosk. This is where the store's tablets are listed and where new ones are added.
- 2
Tap Connect device
Click Connect device. A six-digit code appears with a QR code beside it. The code works once and expires after five minutes.

Bring up the clock on the tablet
Scan the QR code with the tablet and it opens the time clock and claims the code by itself — that is the whole pairing. If you would rather type: open the clock page on the tablet, and it walks you through the same three steps, ending with the six digits.

Give the device a name you will recognise
New tablets are named Tablet 1, Tablet 2 and so on. Rename it to where it lives — "Front counter", "Workshop door" — because that name is stamped on every punch it records. In six months a timesheet that says "Workshop door" tells you something; "Tablet 2" does not.

Check the device list
Each paired tablet shows whether it is Connected and when it last punched. A tablet that is awake reports in every couple of minutes, so Not connected on a tablet you can see running usually means Wi-Fi, not Lunix.

Leave it on the clock page
The tablet needs nothing else — no account is signed in on it, and there is nothing on it to reach the rest of your Lunix data. Put it on a stand where people walk past, plugged in.

Unpair a tablet you no longer trust
Unpair seals that device: its punches stay on the record, but it can never record another one. Do this the day a tablet is replaced, lost or taken home — it is the only thing that stops it.
Pro tips
- The tablet is not signed in as anybody. That is the point: a shared device that cannot open your reports, your prices or your customers, only the clock.
- Failed PIN attempts are counted per PIN, not per device. A whole shop clocking in from one tablet behind one internet connection would otherwise lock itself out by lunchtime.
