Enable Kiosk Mode

Security:
Manage schedules
.
You can enable kiosk mode as a survey channel for employees who don't have an email address on their employee record. It's possible to have 1 schedule with multiple survey channels. Example: Email, kiosk mode, SMS. You can also disable email and SMS to have a kiosk-only survey.
See Concept: Kiosk Surveys for more information and refer to Steps: Launch the Survey for a complete survey setup guide.
  1. Go to
    Administration
    Schedules
    .
  2. Click
    View
     on the survey that you need to configure.
  3. Go to the
    Kiosk
     tab.
  4. As you select kiosk type, consider:

    Reusable kiosk codes
    Reusable kiosk codes don't change from 1 round to the next so employees can keep using their unique code on an ongoing basis. You can also regenerate the reusable code for an employee, if needed.
    The codes are available for export after selecting reusable codes as the kiosk type in the schedule. You can use this export to distribute codes. Example: By post or through frontline managers.
    To export the codes, go to
    Administration
    Employees
    Export
    Export
    .
    Only users from access control groups with the
    Kiosk codes
     permission can export codes.
    One-time kiosk codes
    Each employee can use a unique one-time code that regenerates for each new survey round.
    To export the codes, go to
    Administration
    Schedules
    View
    Kiosk
    Export all in schedule
    .
    The
    Export all in schedule
     button only displays after the survey round has opened.
    Employee number and first name
    Employees access the survey by entering their first name and employee number. The employee number and first name must match the information on the employee record.
    Although this method requires the least admin, it often causes confusion with regard to special characters, and cases of multiple names.
    Communicate your policies on how to proceed or troubleshoot common access issues. Example: If you've standardized the practice for the
    First name
     field to include all names except for the surname, tell employees to enter all their names except for the surname.
  5. Create a
    Kiosk URL
    .
  6. Set
    Kiosk device privacy
    .
If you enable kiosk mode during an open round, employees can use the kiosk URL and authentication method immediately. Any subsequent changes to the kiosk settings are effective immediately.
If you're using multiple survey channels, all employees can use kiosk mode. Employees without email address can only use kiosk mode.
