Setting up in five minutes

One location, one screen, your team. In that order.

Three things have to exist before anyone can check in: a location, a display, and people. Everything else is optional.

Add your location

A location is a place people arrive at — an office, a site, a branch. It carries its own timezone, which is what decides the business day a check-in belongs to. An office in Dubai and one in London disagree about what “today” means for five hours of every day, and LiteEntry keeps them straight by asking the location rather than the reader.

You can leave the checks off to begin with. They are easier to reason about once you have seen a check-in arrive.

Put a screen by the door

Any device with a browser: a tablet, an old phone, a TV, a laptop nobody uses. Name it, choose its location, and it shows a QR code that changes every thirty seconds.

Pairing works both ways round. If the device has a camera, point it at the code on your computer and it pairs when the link opens. If it has no camera — a TV, usually — open /register on it, and it shows a short code you type into your computer instead.

Add your team

Add people by hand, or import a CSV with two columns: name and email. Roles come later; most people need no role at all.

They sign in with the Google account they already have. There is no password to issue, forget, or reset.
