# Celayix Kiosk Overview

Celayix Kiosk is a PIN-based time clock application that allows employees to quickly and securely clock in and out of their shifts using a shared kiosk device.

Designed for fast-paced work environments, the **Kiosk** provides a simple and reliable way to record employee attendance while ensuring accurate time tracking for payroll and scheduling.

The **Kiosk** is best deployed on devices such as tablets at job sites, entrances, or supervisor stations. The Kisok is avaliable in both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

The **Kisok** works with device managment platforms as well to ensure the device is locked to the Kisok during allocated times.

## How Employees Use the Kiosk

Employees can use their **Employee ID (PIN)** or a supported **Barcode** or **QR Code** to perform the following actions:

-   **Check In**
-   **Check Out**
-   **Start Break**
-   **End Break**

The **Kiosk** interface is designed to be simple and intuitive, allowing employees to record punches quickly with minimal interaction.

## Offline Mode Support

The **Kiosk** supports offline mode, allowing employees to continue recording punches even when internet connectivity is unavailable.

When the device reconnects to the internet:

-   **Punches** automatically sync back to the system.
-   **Attendance Records** are processed normally.
-   **Shift Matching** and **Payroll Calculations** continue as expected.

This helps ensure uninterrupted time tracking in environments with unstable or limited connectivity.
