Setting up the kiosk for self check-in

Hardware

• A tablet (iPad or Android), 10 inches or larger.
• A sturdy stand, with a charging cable so the tablet stays powered.
• Optional: a USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner, if students will scan member cards or key tags.

Pair the tablet

1. On the tablet, open your school's QuickKicks address followed by /kiosk. The Kiosk devices page shows the exact address.
2. The tablet shows a 6-character code. It expires after 10 minutes; refresh for a new one.
3. On a staff computer, go to Admin › Settings › Kiosk devices.
4. Under Pair a New Device, enter the code, give it a label (for example "Front desk") and choose a location if you have more than one.
5. Click Pair.

The tablet stays paired until you click Revoke. Nobody stays signed in on it.

Settings (Admin › Settings › Kiosk devices)

• Check-in entry methods: a name-search roster (the default), a 4 to 6 digit PIN, a barcode or QR card, or both.
• Member cards and key tags: create check-in codes for students who don't have one.
• Check-in celebration: the animation students see.
• Past-due members: let them in and tell the front desk, let them in, or turn them away with your own message.
• Exit kiosk PIN: needed to leave kiosk mode or undo a check-in.

Day to day

The kiosk opens on today's classes. A student picks their class, then finds their name or uses their PIN or card. If the wifi drops, check-ins are saved on the tablet and sync when it reconnects.

By default, a child can check in without a signed waiver. Your school can choose to block that.
