How do I setup a kiosk (tablet) mode on site?

Setting up the kiosk mode function using an iPad or Tablet so workers can check-in.

Kiosk mode turns an iPad or tablet into a shared check-in station for your site. Set it up at the site entrance so workers who can't use their own phone can still check in and out.

You can use a dedicated site tablet, or switch your own device into kiosk mode when you need it.

Before you start

  • Access: You need to be a Company Host or Site Host for the site.
  • The app: Install the Breadcrumb app on the iPad or tablet and log in with your own host account.
  • Location services: Turn on location services for both the device and the Breadcrumb app.
  • Connection: Make sure the device has Wi-Fi or mobile data where it will sit on site.

Turn on kiosk mode

  1. Open the Breadcrumb app on the iPad or tablet.
  2. Tap the menu icon in the top left corner.
  3. Tap Advanced, then Enter Kiosk Mode.
  4. Select your site from the dropdown.
  5. Enter your Breadcrumb password to confirm.

The device now shows the kiosk screen with Check In, Check Out and Show QR Code buttons. Leave it at the site entrance for workers to use.

How workers check in at the kiosk

  1. Tap Check In.
  2. Complete the site induction and any check-in questions.
  3. Review any site updates.
  4. Tap Check In at the end to finish.

When they leave site, workers tap Check Out on the same kiosk.

Exit kiosk mode

  1. Tap the exit button in the top right corner of the kiosk screen.
  2. Enter your Breadcrumb password.

The device returns to your normal host view.

Tips for a site kiosk

  • Keep it charged: Mount the tablet near a power point at the site entrance, or charge it every night.
  • Lock the device to the app: Use Guided Access on iPad or app pinning on Android so workers can't leave the Breadcrumb app.
  • Turn off auto-lock: Set the screen to stay on so the kiosk is ready when workers arrive.

Troubleshooting

I can't see Enter Kiosk Mode

Your account may not have host access for this site. Ask your company admin to check your permissions.

Workers can't check in because of their location

Check that location services are on for both the device and the Breadcrumb app. If the kiosk sits somewhere location is unreliable, your company admin can turn on Disable Location Requirement For Kiosk Mode in the web portal under Company Settings > Feature Configuration.
