Touchscreen/Kiosk Locations

Concepts

Touchscreen/kiosk locations are available only in the Version 3 kiosk.

Locations for touchscreens/kiosks let you modify how individual physical kiosks behave. Why would you use this?

To have walkup checkin jobs which are applicable only to one facility only show at that facility and not others
Show building-specific news items
Limit surveys to specific locations

To use kiosk locations, you must first define one or more kiosk locations other than the built-in default location, "General".

Steps in this task

From the Touchscreen/kiosk panel on the main screen, click on the Locations link under Setup. (If Locations does not show up, verify that you are using Version 3 kiosk.)
Right-click anywhere on the list to add a new location. Right-click on a specific location to delete or edit it, or click on a location to edit it.
For each location, define a Description and Code. Optionally set a title to show at the top of the screen and one or more IP addresses used by the kiosk software to automatically detect which location it's at.
Save each location individually, then click the Save button to save all of your changes.

Field name	Description
Description	Used for your own tracking of the location's name and in the setup tools. This is not displayed anywhere.
Code	Define a short code here with no punctuation, you'll use this on the kiosk command line to tell a physical kiosk what location it is.
Show this title...	If this is not blank, it will show at the top of the main kiosk screen and will override any global title set in the kiosk setup.
IP addresses	Provide zero or more IP addresses here, one per line. If the kiosk software is not given a command line location, and it finds that the machine it's running on has one of these IP addresses, it will assume that it's running at this location.
