Displays in kiosk mode

A URL can specify a display with limited interactivity using kiosk mode. You can apply kiosk mode to either a temporary display or a saved display.

When a display is in kiosk mode:

• The display is read-only.

• Only the workspace of the display is visible. Left-side panels, such as Search and Events, are omitted. To further limit interaction, the Help and home page links are not available. This parameter will not remove the Back button from a display viewed in the mobile site.

• You can interact with the timebar and symbols but are unable to save any changes.

• Refreshing the browser displays the original view of the display.

To place a display into kiosk mode, append this parameter to the URL:

?mode=kiosk

Note: Kiosk mode only exists within a browser that includes the appended URL parameter described above. Omitting the URL parameter from a link effectively removes a display from kiosk mode.

Examples

• The following URL creates a temporary display in kiosk mode.

  The display will show one trend containing a single attribute (Fuel) from the B-210 asset during the time range of midnight September 25, 2012, to midnight September 27, 2012.

  https://webserver/website/#/Displays/AdHoc?DataItems=\\EastCoast\HiEfficiency\
  B-210|Fuel&StartTime=25-sep-12&EndTime=27-sep-12&mode=kiosk

• This URL opens the saved display 3117 (named PowerAnalysis) in kiosk mode.

  No time range is specified so the display will open with the time range from the saved display.
