Forms: Kiosks (Factory Floor Form Stations)

Turn any tablet into a PIN-protected form station: urgency-sorted worklists, a staff picker for attributed records, and a compliance idle screen.

Written by Support Superfood

Kiosks turn any tablet or shared screen into a dedicated form station for the factory floor — no personal logins, just a PIN and the checks that station owns.


Setting up a kiosk

  • Admins create kiosks under Kiosks in the sidebar: name the station (say, "Line 1" or "Goods In"), set a 4-digit PIN, and choose which forms it shows.

  • Each kiosk gets its own link — open it on the tablet, add it to the home screen, done. The link works without signing in; the PIN is the gate.

  • Too many wrong PINs locks the pad briefly, with a visible countdown.


The worklist

  • Unlocked, the kiosk shows only that station's forms, sorted by urgency: overdue first, then due today, due soon and on demand, each with a countdown like "2d overdue" or "Tomorrow".

  • A stats band tracks the station's position — overdue, due today, completions this week and an On track percentage — and the most urgent forms appear as one-tap chips.

  • A Submissions tab lists what the station has already recorded, with QA statuses; tap a row for the full detail.


Who completed it

  • Opening a form first asks "Who's completing this form?" — a one-tap picker of your staff list, so every kiosk record is attributed to a person, not just a station.

  • The name is remembered until the kiosk is locked, and shows in the header with a quick way to change it between workers.

  • Leaving a half-filled form (Back or Lock) asks before discarding the answers.


The idle screen

  • After two minutes idle the kiosk shows a calm full-screen display: the time, plus live overdue and due-today counts for that station — the idle screen works for compliance, not against it.

  • Tap anywhere to get back to the worklist.


Built for the floor

  • Touch targets sized for gloved hands, and physical keyboards work on the PIN pad too.

  • If the forms can't load (a Wi-Fi drop, say) the kiosk says so clearly with a Retry button — it never pretends everything is up to date when it can't be sure.
