Configuration

Create a Kiosk Storefront to use on your kiosk devices in the gym.  The same url can be used on multiple devices. 

Chromebooks as Kiosks

RECOMMEND: Dell 3100 Series Chromebooks are best. There are models that are both touchscreen and non-touchscreen. Touchscreen appears to be 3100, 3120, 3189.  Look for refurbished for some additional savings!

• Use or set up a new Gmail account (i.e. facilitycode-fd@companydomain.com).
   
• Use a single google account for all kiosks.  This allows you to share bookmarks and settings across devices.
   
• Full Screen Mode: Use the chrome browser in full screen mode (button on keyboard). It's just like a kiosk, no URL address bar. Click the full screen mode again to exit and change URL.
   
• Adjust settings on the google account (do once for the account used on all devices):
  • go to settings and disable autofill and passwords,
  • go to languages to disable spell check
  • Use guest/incognito for extra layer preventing google profile interaction.
     
• Device Settings (do on each device):
  • The only per device setting is the power settings, setting them to never sleep.

iPads as kiosks

• Minimum required ios 17 or higher
   
• Google Chrome app for iPad.
   
• Make one google account to use for all kiosks. Change the following settings - once changed, they apply to all devices running this google account in the Chrome Browser.
  • go to chrome account settings and disable autofill and passwords.
  • go to languages to disable spell check. 
     
• Go to iPad Settings and:
  • disable gestures
  • disable auto-correct
  • disable auto-fill and saving
  • disable auto-lock
  • use parental controls or guided access to limit to only kiosk/select URLs
     
• Open chrome browser with guest/incognito for extra layer preventing google profile interaction.
   
• Disable automatic software updates on the ipad.  When updating, update 1-2 ipads, ensure they are working, then update the rest.

Other Devices as Kiosks

Any internet connected device running the Chrome browser (recommended) can be used. 
Follow configuration settings above and make any other device specific settings to prevent autofill etc...

Verify Kiosks to Bypass Captcha Prompts

In Build > Storefronts > Manage  'Manage Kiosks' (Tab) > Add Verified Kiosk button.

Do this from the facility of the kiosk url!

Once selected, a pop-up window will appear with a 6-digit code, used to pair the kiosk. Kiosks that have been verified will have a token saved to local memory to retain verified status.
