Retrieve PIN for the time tracking terminal

If you provide the [time tracking terminal on a tablet(/time-tracking/time-clock-terminal/time-tracking-terminal-on-a-tablet/) for your employees, they can conveniently record their working hours. To sign in to the time tracking terminal, the employee must enter their 4-digit PIN.

Where can employees find the PIN?

Any employee can retrieve the PIN by signing in to their Timebutler user account and then clicking “Settings” > “Security” at the bottom left.

Note: The PIN appears only if time tracking is enabled for the employee.

Change the PIN

Every user can set their preferred PIN. To do so, they open the page that shows the PIN as described above and click the “Change PIN” button.

The same applies here: The PIN appears only if time tracking is enabled for the employee.

Rules for the PIN
An admin can enforce certain rules for the PIN so employees cannot, for example, set a simple numeric sequence as their PIN. You can change this setting by signing in to Timebutler as an admin, then clicking “Settings” at the bottom left, then “More..” underneath, then “Global settings” on the right. There you will find the option “Rules for the PIN at the time tracking terminal”

Employees without an email address

To retrieve the PIN, the employee must sign in to their Timebutler user account. They need the login details they received by email at the start. Some employees do not have an email address stored in their user account and cannot sign in. Read here how to proceed for [employees without an email address(/frequently-asked-questions/time-tracking/time-tracking-terminal-pin-only-with-email-address/).
