Considerations
-
One instance per device is recommended when using kiosks.
-
Kiosk instances should not be run on multiple devices at the same time.
-
When a user starts a kiosk in a browser, the instance will remain valid until the "Kiosk Time Out" period has passed or another user starts or restores the same kiosk on a different browser. If a another user starts or restores the same kiosk in another browser, users attempting to access the original riosk will receive an authentication error.
Note: The "Kiosk Time Out" setting is defined on the Kiosk Configurations setup page. See in the online help for more information, or use the search feature. -
Kiosks can be used by start-stop employees, duration employees, attestation employees, and can optionally be configured for use by federated employees.
Caution: When creating kiosk configurations and kiosk instances, ederated instances must be assigned to locations that use the federation authentication type and non-federated instances must be assigned to locations that use the basic authentication type.Note: If a federated kiosk administrator accidentally starts a non-federated kiosk instance, the instance can be stopped using the Kiosk Instances setup page. See Stop an active Kiosk Instance for more information.
