Do you want a workstation where anyone can walk up and enter a request without having to log in to FMX? You can do this by setting up Kiosk Mode!
Kiosk Mode allows you to have a blank request form open on a computer for anyone to fill out and submit!
* Note if you need these users to complete any additional actions such as respond, resolve or finalize this may not be the best option for you.
There are two ways to set up Kiosk mode:
- Entering Kiosk mode directly through the FMX website.
- Embedding Kiosk mode into an internal organizations website.
*** For both options, you will need to create a "Kiosk User" User Type.
Adding a "Kiosk User":
1. Navigate to the Admin Settings
2. Select "User Types" from the tabs at the top of the page.
3. Click on the red "Add user type" in the right-hand corner.
4. Select the top "User Type" tab and edit the name to "Kiosk user".
5. Edit the Module in which you would like the Kiosk user to be able to have access to. (ex. Technology)
7. Click Save when finished!
8. Create a new user within your site called "Kiosk User" with the Kiosk type.

2. Select "New request" in the top right-hand corner and select the request form you would like to user Kiosk Mode for. (Ex. Maintenance)
3. Once the request is open, click the gear icon in the top right-hand corner and select "Enter kiosk mode".
4. You can now keep this page open in kiosk mode for individuals to submit requests. Once a request is submitted, the page will reopen with a new blank request.
* Note: If the person is not a user in the site, they will need to add their name to the description or to a custom field. They will also not receive any notifications.
* Note (If a user): The individual can create the request and choose their name in the "On behalf of" drop-down box. This will associate the request with this user and allow them to receive notifications.
5. To exit the Kiosk Mode, select the gear icon in the top right and click "Exit Kiosk Mode"

6. Once you generate the embed code, you can select the height of the window and copy the code to embed on your website.
