JotForm Mobile App: Shortcut for kiosk mode

  • Allarakhia
    Asked on January 25, 2021 at 1:55 PM

    Hi, i have people working on site who fill the form similarly as conducting a survey and taking photo's etc, however on the web browser the forms refresh at some point during the day when they travel from location to location and loose all photo's that we're taken earlier.

    I'd like to try the app and see if that can eliminate that issue, however, is there a way i can create a shortcut on my tablet so that the form opens up as kiosk mode straight away? rather than selecting the form and pressing kiosk mode?

    Looking forward to your repose, Many Thanks

    Hello there,

    Thank you for contacting support.

    however on the web browser the forms refresh at some point during the day when they travel from location to location and loose all photo's that we're taken earlier.

    You might consider using our Continue Forms Later feature so that you can save previous data entered in the form and get back to it later.

    As far as I know, there is no other way to open form in kiosk mode other than selecting the form and pressing kiosk mode. However, if you want the form to stay in kiosk mode not unless you allow it to exit in kiosk mode, you may want to turn on our App Lock feature. The App Lock feature will allow you to set a PIN. The form will not exit in kiosk mode unless the right PIN is entered. See demo below.
