The first step is to install the Focus Self Service App onto the tablet that you wish to use as your clocking terminal. The App contains a function called Shared Device Mode. With this function turned on, employees can quickly and securely log out of the tablet after clocking in or out.

‍

This guide will walk you through:

• Turning ON Shared Device Mode
• Employee clocking process on the tablet
• Turning OFF Shared Device Mode

Turning ON Shared Device Mode

1. Log in to the Self Service App as usual.

2. On the Home Screen, tap the menu icon (three lines in the top left corner of the screen). Alternatively, swipe the screen from left to right.

3. At the bottom of the menu page, there is a toggle switch called ‘Shared Device Mode’. Toggle this ON (slide it right).
4. The Home Screen immediately reappears but now includes a ‘Log Out’ button.
5. Tap the ‘Log Out’ button.*
6. The Login Screen reappears.

‍

* After 20 seconds of inactivity, an ‘Auto Logout’ message appears. If you do nothing, you will be logged out after a further 10 seconds. To stay logged in, simply tap ‘Cancel’.

Employee clocking process on the tablet

1. The tablet displays the Login Screen.
2. Employee logs in using their PIN and Password.
3. Employee clocks in or out (depending on their circumstances).
4. Employee taps the ‘Log Out’ button. If they forget, they will be logged out automatically after 30 seconds.
5. The tablet shows the Login Screen, ready for the next employee.

‍

Turning OFF Shared Device Mode

1. Log in to the Self Service App.
2. On the Home Screen, tap the menu icon. Or swipe the screen from left to right.
3. Toggle ‘Shared Device Mode’ to OFF (slide it left).
4. The Home Screen immediately reappears - the ‘Log Out’ button is no longer visible.

‍

Remember to manually log out afterwards as the ‘Auto Logout’ will also no longer work.

Additional information

When Shared Device Mode is enabled, the option to ‘Reset’ is removed from the Login Screen, preventing employees from accidentally pressing it.
