How do I set up a Chrome OS Kiosk?
Setting up WaiverSign using Chrome OS is a relatively simple process, all you need is any device running Chrome OS and a stable internet connection.
This article will cover using an extension called Kiosk for Chrome. This extension is also compatible when using a Mac or Windows computer with the Google Chrome Web Browser installed.
Note: Please keep in mind that Chrome OS is an operating system, so your mileage may vary following these instructions on a Mac or Windows computer.
The following steps will lock your Chrome OS computer to your WaiverSign waiver, ensuring that your participants/signers do not stray away to other websites or menus on your computer. Additionally, if someone begins the signing process and walks away for more than a minute, the app will automatically start over for the next person in line.
Warning: We HIGHLY recommend that you use a touchscreen computer, and avoid giving your guests access to a physical keyboard -- anyone familiar with keyboard shortcuts would have the ability to close the Kiosk Application and gain full access to your machine.
