Set up Time Clocking by RFID

As an alternative to using time clocking from a handheld device, a terminal can be set up for staff to log in using an RFID chip/card. The RFID chip simulates the fast keyboard entry of its own ID when scanning. The page must be in focus and cannot react to the input in the background.

We recommend a computer with a touchscreen without a keyboard. Create a shortcut to the browser (e.g. Chrome) on the desktop and start the browser in "Kiosk" mode so that individual users cannot change the address or close the browser.

  1. Create a Web Logon Ticket Web logon ticket for each user who is to be able to log in using an RFID chip:
    1. Go to the Einrichtung Configurations tab and click on Html Web > Web Logon Ticket Web logon tickets > neu New.
    2. Select the name of a user or user group from the picklist.
    3. Activate Multiple use of the ticket and set the Validity to a high value. If you enter "0", the registration ticket remains valid until the end of the contract.
    4. Copy the web logon ticket to the clipboard when prompted.
  2. Create an Web Url Shortener Abbreviation of the web address with the name of the chip ID:
    1. Go to Einrichtung Configurations > Html Web > Web Url Shortener Web address abbreviation > neu New.
    2. Enter a URL such as "<server>:<port>/bpwebapp/zeiterfassung/index.html?logon_ticket=<logonticket>" as the web address.
    3. Activate Multi-use of the abbreviation and set the Validity to a high value. If you enter "0", the registration ticket remains valid until the end of the contract.
  3. Start the terminal in "Kiosk" mode:
    1. In the desktop application, create a shortcut to a browser (e.g. Chrome) that supports opening in "Kiosk" mode.
    2. The URL for the terminal is "<server>:<port>/bpwebapp/zeiterfassung/terminal.html" if only the working time is to be recorded.
    3. The URL for the terminal is "<server>:<port>/bpwebapp/zeiterfassung/terminalplus.html" if all other functions of the WebApp are also to be available.
