Kiosk Interface

Navigating to the kiosk interface

1. In the menu bar, navigate to
system → Interfaces

2. From the drop-down list, select “KioskAPI - Kiosk API“

From this interface, administrators can configure and manage kiosks from a centralised location.

Add new kiosk

Need to say the kiosk is unique per device

1. In the side-bar, select the “KioskAPI Kiosk(s)“ option

2. To add a new kiosk to synergetic, select the Plus Icon (add new kiosk button)

3. Finally, select “Yes” to confirm to add a new kiosk

When a new kiosk is added, it will display the:

Status - Current operating status of the kiosk (Created, Enrolled, Deleted)

GUID - Unique identifier for the kiosk terminal

Shared Secret - key used to authenticate the kiosk with synergetic

QR code link - generates a unique QR code containing the data required to pair the kiosk with synergetic

4. Click the “Click to get QR code” to generate a new QR code for the kiosk

Note:
The QR code is unique to each kiosk

Configuring a new kiosk

Before configuring the kiosk, please ensure you have followed the guide to onboard the device (here)

1. Open the “Attendance Kiosk” application

2. Initially, the application will display a camera view and request to point the camera at the generated QR code

3. When the kiosk successfully scans the QR code and establishes communication with synergetic, it will prompt “Scan successful”

4. Enter a unique device name; the name will be displayed on the kiosk footer during operation

5. Select a role for the kiosk.

Pairing device to a printer

If connecting the kiosk to the EPSON TMT-88VI printer, please ensure Bluetooth is enabled, and the printer is paired (here)

When the printer is connected to the kiosk, select the paired printer; otherwise, you can proceed without printing required.

If no printer is selected, it will not print a late or leave slip.

Troubleshooting

[1] If the camera view is not displaying, please enable camera permissions for the “attendance kiosk”

[2] If the scan is displaying “Unrecognised QR code”, please ensure you have not previously scanned the QR code; as a QR code must be unique to each kiosk
