Before you begin
Use a school-approved display and a maintained browser with full-screen support. Connect to the internet and confirm Kiosk is enabled for the school. A landscape display is a practical starting point; test the actual screen before unattended use.
Steps
- From the school dashboard, select View Kiosk, or open the school's supplied kiosk link.
- Check the school name and the schedule shown. Where prompted, select the appropriate schedule group while online.
- Select Full Screen. If unavailable, use the browser's supported full-screen control.
- Review schedule times and the Upcoming Events / Today's Games information. Where both are available, the display rotates between them; dots let you choose a view.
- To return to browser mode, use the browser or device's exit-full-screen control; on a desktop keyboard, try Esc.
- Once the toolbar is visible, choose Back to Website to return to the school website.
Expected result
The kiosk displays available school information. Full-screen mode hides its toolbar; it does not configure device locking or prevent someone exiting the browser.
Troubleshooting
Keep the device powered and check its sleep settings under your school's device policy. Online data refreshes periodically, normally every five minutes. After a connection interruption, saved read-only data may be shown only if previously downloaded; inspect the offline/last-updated message and reconnect. Reload online if information does not recover.
Update source information through Schedules, Calendar, Events, Athletics, or Announcements, according to your permissions. Priority announcements supply the kiosk announcement area. A Kiosk unavailable for this school message requires an availability review by your school/Sundial contact. There is no finished Kiosk Builder setup workflow to follow.
