Where to find it: Dock Scheduling → Driver Check-in / Out (also a button on the Appointments page) The kiosk turns a tablet in your lobby into a check-in screen. Drivers find their appointment and tap one button when they arrive and another when they leave. Owlery updates the appointment for your team. Your team can still check drivers in from the dock schedule.

​
Before You Start

  • Access to the facility: You need to be able to manage the facility’s profile in Owlery. If you don’t see Driver Check-in / Out in the sidebar, ask whoever manages your Owlery account to give you access.
  • Facility time zone: The facility needs a time zone, or setup won’t continue. Set it in your facility profile.
  • A tablet: Any tablet with a web browser works. Sign in to Owlery on it as yourself.

​
Set Up the Tablet

1

Open Driver Check-in / Out

On the tablet, go to Dock Scheduling → Driver Check-in / Out.
2

Pick your facility

The tablet only shows appointments for this one facility.
3

Set a 4-digit exit passcode

The tablet is signed in to Owlery as you. The passcode keeps drivers from closing the kiosk and getting into your account. Drivers never need it.
If you choose Skip, anyone at the tablet can close the kiosk and use Owlery as you.
4

Tap Save & enter

The kiosk opens full screen with today’s appointments. While it’s open, the tablet can’t go to any other Owlery page.
The facility and passcode are saved in that browser on that tablet only. If you switch tablets, use a different browser, or clear the browser’s data, set it up again.

​
What Drivers Do

Drivers search for their appointment by reference number or customer name, then tap the button on its row. The kiosk lists today’s confirmed and proposed appointments in time order. It updates on its own, so no one needs to refresh it. If a driver can’t find their appointment, the screen tells them to ask the front desk.

​
Fix a Wrong Check-In or Check-Out

Any driver can tap any row, and Check out happens in one tap. If a driver taps the wrong appointment, open it from the Appointments page and change its status back. See Edit an Appointment.

​
Close the Kiosk

Tap the ✕ in the corner and enter the exit passcode. You’re back on Dock Scheduling.
  • Forgot the passcode: Tap the ✕, choose the forgot-passcode option, and sign in to Owlery again. Then set a new passcode.
  • Switch facilities: Close the kiosk, then open Driver Check-in / Out again and pick the new facility.
