InTouch Guest Kiosk Setup
Kiosk setup has two parts:
- Customization of the kiosk application in FollowUp (including the creation of kiosk keys that link your iPad(s) to your club's InTouch)
- Setup of the iPad itself (or other device. The kiosk was designed for (and supported on) an iPad, but should still work on other devices as well).
Step 1: Set Up Your Application
- Check out our Kiosk User Guide if this is your club's first kiosk. This Guide will walk you through adding in your Guest Waiver wording as well as other customization options.
Step 2: Set Up Your iPad
- Connect your iPad to Wi-Fi (Click here for Apple's instructions on how to do this)
- Click here for our recommended network settings. It's highly recommended that you connect your iPad to a secured network. The number one issue with kiosks is a poor wireless connection.
- Create your Kiosk Keys in FollowUp. A kiosk key links an iPad to an InTouch site. They are one-time use only (meaning you can't enter it more than once). Keys get stored within your browser settings until you clear your browser's cache/cookies (or the occasional browser or iOD update may do this automatically). Create two keys per iPad to start.
- In your FollowUp application, go to Admin > Kiosk (note: Kiosk is only visible for clubs with a kiosk license and those with permissions to Edit their kiosk)
- At the bottom of the screen, select Manage Kiosks to see your current list of keys
- Select + New Kiosk on the left hand side of the screen to add in a new key. Give it a name and Save.
- Connect your iPad to Wi-Fi (Click here for Apple's instructions on how to do this)
- Click here for our recommended network settings. It's highly recommended that you connect your iPad to a secured network. The number one issue with kiosks is a poor wireless connection.
- Open Safari and go to https://app.intouchfollowup.com/kiosk/
- Enter in a Kiosk Invitation Key (see Set Up Your Application above) and then select Next
- Add (pin) the kiosk webpage to your iPad Home Screen for easy access
- After you pin the web page to your home screen, the very first time you time open it, you typically need to enter in a new kiosk invitation key. Keys are one-time use only so you won't be able to re-use the same key from step 3one already entered.
Below are some addition iPad settings that several clubs have found helpful:
- Use Guided Access to lock down the kiosk application
- Enable the Accessibility Shortcut
- Turn off MultiTasking Gestures if you want to prevent them from leaving your app
- Turn off Auto-Correction
