The Eco Time Kiosk Server module is designed as a bespoke self-service solution for employees.
Employees can log in using:
Employee Number
ID Number
Eco Time Web Login
Custom Kiosk Login
Once authenticated, employees can access their own:
Timesheet information
Leave information
Clocking information
The Kiosk Server is designed strictly as an individual self-service platform.
2. Design Philosophy
The Kiosk Server runs independently from the Eco Time Web Server to allow:
Rapid bespoke development
Customer-specific workflows
Independent deployment
Isolated updates
Employee requirements differ from time and attendance clerks or supervisors. The kiosk therefore provides a simplified, focused interface.
3. Installation
Installation follows the same procedures as the Eco Time API Server and Web Server.
3.1 Default Port Configuration
HTTP: 64
HTTPS: 264 (Recommended)
3.2 Certificate and Service Configuration
SSL certificate binding and Windows Service installation use the same installer framework as other Eco Time services.
4. Initial Access and Administration
Upon first browser access, users are presented with the Login Page.
The system default to employe enumbers as logins. This can be changed as described later in this document. The default password for the first login well be supplied by the Eco Time support department.
The first successful login is automatically elevated to Administrator.
Administrators can:
Access all kiosk features
Manage employee access rights
Change settings
Reset passwords
Terminated employees are automatically suspended from kiosk access on their termination date.
5. Login Types and Kiosk Settings
Administrators can configure the default login type via:
Mobile Menu → Settings
Login types may be overridden per employee.
If a selected login type (e.g., ID Number) is missing in the masterfile, the system reverts to Employee Number.
Passwords are unique to the Kiosk Server and are not shared with other Eco Time modules.
Password policy is configured under:
Config Modules → Bells and Whistles
First-time login forces password change.
Branch-based routing allows automatic redirection to Weekly or Monthly Timesheets based on comma-separated branch codes.
6. User Levels and Employee Configuration
6.1 User Levels
No Access
Operator
Supervisor (Reserved)
Administrator
The first login creates the first Administrator.
If the first Administrator password is lost, a full system reset is required.
Administrators may elevate additional employees.
6.2 Login Editing Behaviour
Changing login type enables editing of the relevant masterfile field.
The Kiosk Login updates automatically based on selection.
6.3 Password Reset
Administrators can reset passwords.
Reset users must change password on next login.
7. Current Features and Framework Expansion
Weekly Timesheets
Clocking Screens
Timesheet Information
Features are bespoke and expandable.
Future releases will allow license-based feature control.
8. Architectural Separation and Stability
The Kiosk Server operates independently as a Windows Service.
Updates are isolated
No interference with Web or API servers
Controlled deployment impact
9. Conclusion
The Eco Time Kiosk Server provides a flexible, secure, and highly customizable employee self-service solution.
