Setting up the Time Clock
Accessing Kiosk URLs
Log into the Frontline Time & Attendance portal: https://time.frontlineeducation.com/
If you do not have a username and password, someone in your business office, payroll, or human resources may be able to help get the URLs for you.
Click Configure on the left-hand side, then choose Clock Kiosks.
Right-click the Kiosk you want the URL for and choose Copy Link Address.
Each clock will have a unique URL (ORGID will be the same for all clocks in your district) (KID will be different for each clock)
If you choose, you can also assign a location for the clock in the Time and Attendance portal. This will display above the date/time when in Kiosk Mode.
Powering on and Connecting to the Network
- Connect Power Cord to Power Cord Input - The unit will power on
- Connect Ethernet Cord to Ethernet Cord Input
- Clocks can use DHCP or static address
- Add a WiFi connection
- Click the icon on the desktop “Wi-Fi Settings” for settings.
* The Time Clock Standard model has an option for 4G backup service if the clock would lose connection to the district network - Please note this is a backup option only and is limited to 50MB per calendar month. 4G service is only available while the devices are covered under the Whiteglove Service and Support.
Exiting to Windows

You have now successfully accessed the Windows screen
Configure Kiosk Mode
Choose the “Configure Kiosk Mode” icon in the upper left corner of the desktop.
Make sure you are in the “General” section:
This section is where you will enter the Kiosk URL from the earlier step.
Tap in this field and delete all the text so the field is blank. To bring up the keyboard, click the keyboard icon on the bottom right corner of the screen.
Enter the Kiosk URL for this time clock.
Ensure the ORG ID and the KID highlighted above are for your district and clock, so your clock can access the right Frontline account.
To save the settings, simply exit the Kioware app by clicking the “X” at the top right of the page.
Restart the time clock to enter kiosk mode. Select the “Start Kiosk Mode” icon in the upper left corner of the desktop.
The device will power cycle and reboot into the Frontline Kiosk Mode for you to begin clocking in!
That's it! When you see a screen similar to this one, you have successfully entered Kiosk Mode.
