Kiosk behaviour and controls

The following options are available in the administration interface under Location Branding. They affect the position of the controls and the kiosk's return to the default mode after inactivity.

Accessibility mode

The button with the wheelchair symbol switches the public kiosk to a mode with more accessible controls. The controls move lower so that a wheelchair user can reach them comfortably. After the configured time, the interface automatically returns to its standard layout.

Three Branding timers

Time limit for active accessibility mode determines the time before the controls return to their standard position after accessibility mode is activated.

Application time limit determines how long an open application can remain inactive. If a visitor opens an application and leaves, it starts closing automatically after this time.

Countdown time limit for returning to the device's default settings is the final countdown. Before the return, a dialog appears with a countdown, such as 10, 9, 8…; if the user does not continue, the system returns to the default mode.

When an open application is inactive, the application time limit is followed by the final countdown. If the visitor does not continue, the system returns to the device's default mode after the countdown. The accessibility mode time limit independently determines when the controls return to their standard position.

Inactivity dialog

Branding also lets you configure the text of the dialog shown before an inactive session ends automatically, such as the alert title, the message “The application will close.” and the button text that lets the visitor confirm they want to continue using the screen.

How to configure timers and the dialog

1. In the Location details, open the Branding settings.
2. Configure the inactivity timers and the dialog text that warns the visitor before the system returns to its default state.
3. Check the result on a device in that Location.

The kiosk's logo, colours, icons and layout are described in the guide Application layer appearance.
