What is a Punch Clock Activation code?
A Punch Clock Activation code is a unique identifier that’s created once a device is activated with it. It is stored on the device itself.
Punch Clock Activation Codes enable you to set up access to kiosk.planday.com.
This will enable you to set up a tablet, iPad of any kind or web browser with the Web Punch Clock interface, allowing your employees to punch in.
How can I set up a Punch Clock Activation code?
Before setting up your Activation codes, you must create one or more Punch Clock profiles on your Planday account.
To set your device as a Punch Clock station, follow these steps:
Go to Settings 1️⃣ > Punch Clock > Profiles 2️⃣
Hover your mouse on the right of your Punch Clock profile and click on the Activation Code icon 3️⃣
Copy the Activation Code in the popup 4️⃣
Open up kiosk.planday.com on the device you want to set up and submit the code
If the device has already been set up using an activation code, you’ll be redirected to kiosk.planday.com for users to punch in. If the device has not been set up, you’ll be redirected to kiosk.planday.com to set up the device with an Activation Code.
💡 Please note that when Punch Clock Activation Codes are used for multiple locations/Departments, the same validation method must be used for all locations.
