Kiosk and worker home
The shared tablet on the floor. One device, a PIN each, and the same worker home a person with their own login sees.
Most people in a fabrication shop do not sit at a computer. The kiosk is Jeevy's answer to that: one tablet bolted somewhere sensible, and a 6-digit PIN each. A worker taps their name, types their PIN, and gets their own tasks, their own clock and their own hours. When they walk away it locks and waits for the next person.
The screen they get is the same worker home anybody on the floor sees when they sign in with their own login. The kiosk is a way onto it, not a different product.
Setting the tablet up
- Sign in on the tablet as an owner, manager or shop station account.
- Open the apps menu and choose Kiosk. Pin it if you want it in the top bar with the other apps.
- That is it. The tablet is now a kiosk and stays one across restarts.
Signing in on it
Type your name, pick yourself from the list, enter your PIN. If you have not started your shift yet the confirm button reads SHOP IN and signing in starts the shift in the same tap; if you are already shopped in it reads GO.
A language toggle sits on the PIN screen, before anybody signs in, so the app is readable in the language of whoever is standing in front of it.
Guest login gets you onto the screen to look at work without signing in.
Working from the worker home
The worker home has two views and a switcher at the top: My tasks and Projects. Each carries a count, and the one you last used is the one you come back to.
My tasks is the work assigned to you, grouped the way the job is: project, then work stream, then the group folders inside it. Start where you left off puts what you were last on at the top.
- Clock In on a task starts tracking. Clock Out asks how it went: Done, Coming Back or Blocked. See Shop time and task time.
- Lunch pauses your task timer. While you are on lunch, clocking in, clocking out and Shop Out are all unavailable until you tap End Lunch.
- Tapping a task opens its work view: instructions, files and links, the checklist, and the QA evidence it asks for.
- The profile menu carries Today's Activity, My Hours, My History and Account Settings, which is where a worker updates their own phone number and emergency contact.
Projects lists every ongoing job in the shop, one row each, whether or not you are assigned to anything on it. Tap a row to start on that job, and tap it again to stop. Where a job has work streams the chevron opens them, so the hours can land on one stream rather than the whole job. This is how a shop that does not plan its work as tasks still gets its labor onto the job, and how somebody told "you are on the vessel today" records that in one tap.
Starting needs your shift open, the same as a task. Stopping never does. Clocking onto anything stops whatever you were on before, so two jobs are never charged for the same hour. Stopping a project or work stream asks nothing: Done, Coming Back and Blocked are answers about a task.
Group clock-in
Some work is planned as a group that a crew works together rather than as separate tasks per person. On those, clocking in happens at the group and applies to the crew, and the individual tasks underneath cannot be clocked separately. If Clock In is refused on a task that otherwise looks ready, this is usually why.
Ending a shift
Shop Out does not just stop the clock. It opens a review of the day: what was tracked, and a prompt for anything worked on that never got clocked. Adding times there sends a timesheet request to a manager for approval rather than writing hours in directly.
Locking, and taking the tablet back
Lock Kiosk in the profile menu returns to the PIN screen for the next person. The kiosk also locks itself after an hour of nobody touching it.
Exit Kiosk Mode, on the PIN screen, leaves kiosk mode and opens your dashboard. The account that started kiosk mode is still signed in.
