Permission & Installation

Before using the Sentec EMS Employee App, employees are required to complete several initial settings to ensure the application functions properly. These settings are especially important for features that rely on device access, such as attendance recording, which may require permission to use the camera, microphone, and location.

In addition to permission settings, employees also have the option to install the web app shortcut on their device. Since the Sentec EMS Employee App is currently accessible only via a web browser, this installation does not download a native mobile application. Instead, it creates a web app shortcut on the device’s home screen, allowing faster access, a more app-like experience, and easier daily use without repeatedly opening the browser.

Completing the permission and installation steps below will help ensure a smooth and uninterrupted experience when using the Sentec EMS Employee App.
