This article explains how to add a kiosk via the Kiosk Builder.

The Kiosk feature allows you to build a collection of layouts that the end user is able to navigate through using interactive touch screens or keyboard and mouse.

Because a Kiosk is a colletion of different Layouts you may want to review

Managing and Creating Layouts

Using The Builder Tool For Layouts Or Messages

The Kioks Builder is used to bind Layout Pages together and create a way to navigate from page to page

To Open Kiosk Builder

  • From The Mega Menu in the Advanced section, select Kiosk Builder

  • Within the Kiosk screen, you will be able to manage existing Kiosks or add new Kiosks

  • Clicking either Add Kiosk, or the Pencil for an existing Kiosk will open the Kiosk Builder

Using the Kiosk Builder

The Kiosk Builder is similar to the Layout Builder, but with an additional section specific to Kiosk Programming on the left.


Kiosk Settings

In the top left corner of the Kiosk Builder is a section of settings that will affect the entire kiosk

  • The TITLE is the Kiosk’s name in the system

  • Auto reset

    • The time that if the kiosk sits without interaction, it will reset to the kiosk’s Starting Page layout

    • If turned off, the kiosk will stay on the last layout selected

  • Enable Interactivity Logging

    • If turned on, it will add data fields in the navigation programming to track interaction


Layout Selection or Creation

In the Layouts section, you can create new layouts (using the builder tool window to the right) or select from already created layouts

Once the Layouts have been selected or created, a thumbnail of them will be shown

By hovering your mouse over the Layout pages you will be able to:

  • Remove a page by clicking the red X

  • Set a page to be the default Starting Page by clicking on the gold crown

    • The gold crown persists on the default Starting Page when your mouse isn’t in the area

    • The Starting Page is the one that will be seen when the Kiosk starts or when the Kiosk Auto Resets


Navigation Programming

Navigation within a Kiosk is programmed by using the Elements that are on a Layout to associate them with the selection of a new page to be seen on the Kiosk.

This is done in the Navigation Elements section on the lower left of the Kiosk Builder

You create Navigations by

  • Hovering your mouse over the Element you wish to have an action and clicking on the Lightning Bolt

  • You will next select the Layout Page you wish the element to take the user to

  • Optional – Interactivity Logging IF Enable Interactivity Logging has been enable,d you will be able to associate the clicking of this element with certain values to be captured in the Interactivity report

    • Interactivity Logging Name will be recorded in its own column in the report called Content Name

    • Key and Value will be recorded together in a column called Interaction

  • Click Save Links to finish setting that navigation

Repeat these steps for any other elements you wish to have navigational control.

Use the Layouts section to select other layout pages to program their navigation


The Navigation Map

This section shows the connections that exist for navigating the pages and can be helpful for identifying orphaned or dead-end pages


Player Assignment For Kiosks

By using the Players section of the Kiosk Builder you will be able to select the Players or Player Groups that should be assigned this Kiosk.

After selecting a player and saving the Kiosk, a new Static Playlist will automatically be created with the name ” Kiosk Playlist: {name of your kiosk here} ” and a description saying that it was Auto-generated with the Korbty Kiosk Builder

Any changes to the Kiosk’s content should be made within the Kiosk Builder Tool,
Do not directly edit this auto-generated playlist
