Launch and Use the Kiosk

The purpose of the Kiosk is to provide a simple electronic method for staff to clock in/out for the workday and for parents to check their children in and out of your facility. A business owner or admin has the permissions needed to launch the kiosk and access the Who's Here Now and Time Entries pages.

  • Go to Programs & Classes (left menu) > Facility Attendance > View Who's Here Now link to see who's clocked in at the site on the Who's Here Now page. 
  • Go to Programs & Classes (left menu) > Facility Attendance > View All Time Entries link to see all entries in the kiosk on the Time Entries page. 

The kiosk can be launched from a laptop, tablet, or desktop, whatever is the most convenient for your business.


Kiosk Log In Credentials

When your Jackrabbit Care system was first created, we added an Owner, and an email verification plus a request to set up a PIN was sent to the email on file. The PIN plus the owner's designated phone number are the two pieces of information you need to launch the kiosk.

An Owner can add an Admin, which will trigger an email to create a secure login and a custom PIN to clock in and out of the site. 

Administrator (Admin)

Follow these steps to add an admin and start the process.

  1. Go to the Left Menu > Teachers & Staff > Profiles card > View All Team Members link.
  2. Click the Actions Menu> Create a team member.
  3. Add the info in the New Team Member window, and click Next.
  4. Select the role of Administrator in the Role window, and click Next.
  5. Select a site in the Site Assignment window and click Save.
    • An email is sent to the email address you entered into the profile to create a password and a PIN.
Contact/Parent

When a new Family Account is added to your system, the contacts/parents will be sent an email to the email address in the system.

  • Contacts designated as Legal Guardian and/or Authorized Pickup will be prompted to set up a PIN to use for the kiosk.
  • Contacts added with no children in the family will receive an email to verify the email address on file.

Launch the Kiosk

If you are an Owner or an Admin, you automatically have the permissions needed to launch the kiosk. If you want to authorize staff to launch the kiosk go to Settings (left menu) > Manage Kiosk Settings link (Business Settings card), slide the toggle Allow Team Members to the right, and the team member will be able to launch the kiosk using their phone number and PIN. 

Follow these instructions to open and launch the kiosk.

Staff Clock-In/Clock-Out with the Kiosk

After the kiosk is launched and open, it's ready to be used to clock in and out of the site during the day. Anyone who clocks in at the facility will appear on the Who's Here Now page. 

Staff Member

The staff member must have a PIN set up in the system to use the kiosk.

After a few seconds, the kiosk resets and is ready for the next person.

Check-In/Check-Out Children Using the Kiosk

Just like staff, the children at your site need to be checked in and out using the kiosk.

Child Check-Out

At the end of the day, or whenever a child leaves the facility, they should be checked out using the kiosk by a parent or an authorized contact.

    • The Welcome window opens, and children in the family are listed with a Check-Outbadge. Select the child/children who are leaving the building.
