ATTRACT VISITORS • Define a homepage as the starting place for the presentation. • Set an idle timer so that when a visitor walks away, the next person will have a fresh experience, starting right at the beginning. • Increase visitor turnover at your kiosk by setting a browsing time limit. • Clear the cache and/or cookies to secure personal information. LIMIT NAVIGATION • Specify what’s off limits on the web by creating lists of allowed & restricted domains. • Block access to other apps, including the native email or phone, that could otherwise be opened through links. • Disable touch interaction when used for digital signage.
