How do you allow employees to clock in from appointment mode?

I can't seem to figure out how I can have my employees clock in from appointment mode. We are using the square terminal hardware. In default mode, there is a clock in button in the top corner. However, there is no such option in appointment mode. Changing modes needs an override -- and also closes out the cash drawer -- so not something I want happening when people need to clock in/out. What am I missing?

Hi @calmkid,

Good question!

While the Square Appointments app doesn’t currently support employee clock-in functionality, team members can clock in and out by using the Square Team app instead. The clock-in/out feature is available in both the Square Team app and the Square Point of Sale app.

For more details, see Clock in and out for team members. If you want to review how to set up time tracking, you can find those details here for quick reference.
