Time Tracking Devices Tab
What can I do on the Devices tab in Time Tracking Settings?
Purpose: "Gain control over your organization's timekeeping. This guide helps you effectively manage your time clocks and kiosks in BambooHR, enabling you to view device information, resolve issues, and integrate new devices for seamless time tracking."
The Devices tab in BambooHR Time Tracking Settings provides a centralized place to view and manage all your connected time clocks, whether they are physical BambooHR Time Clocks or iPads using the BambooHR Time Kiosk app.
Accessing the Devices tab
To get started, navigate to Settings > Time Tracking, then select the Devices tab.
Device Information
If your time clocks are up and running, you will see a table listing all your connected devices. By default, your devices will be named by their type (Time Clock, Time Clock Plus, Time Kiosk)
If you have a Time Clock or Time Clock Plus, the pencil icon allows you to edit the clock's Nick Name and Time Zone.
There are a few different reasons your device could be offline. We recommend restarting your device by unplugging it, waiting 60 seconds, and plugging it back in. Once it fully resets, if it is still offline, please contact our Support team.
If you are using the BambooHR Time Kiosk app, the edit icon allows you to update the device's Nick Name (also editable via the Kiosk app) or remove the device completely from your BambooHR account. The kiosk's time zone will automatically mirror the iPad device's settings.
If you have not enabled Clock-In IDs before adding a time clock to your account, they will automatically be enabled when a device has been added. By default, the Clock-In IDs will be the BambooHR employee numbers (found on the employee profile). If you want to learn more about switching to the random number assignment option or turning off Clock-In IDs, click here.
If you haven't connected any time clocks, or have not purchased or set up your clock yet, you can learn more about adding the Kiosk app or request pricing details for our physical time clocks.
Add New Device
If you would like to purchase an additional Time Clock, click Add New Device > Add Time Clock. Our Sales team will contact you soon.
If you are trying to add an additional Kiosk to your Devices tab, all you need to do is download the app, login, and start tracking time! Your device will automatically register to the Devices tab when a user logs into the BambooHR Kiosk app.
Account Owners, full admin users, and custom access level users with the Enable/Disable Time Tracking for all Employees permission have complete access to the Devices tab.
