Kiosk Setup

Set up a tablet at your venue entrance for self-service athlete check-in. Athletes tap their name to mark themselves as present.

What you need

• A tablet (iPad, Android tablet, or any device with a web browser)
• An internet connection at your venue

Setting up

1. Go to Settings → Check-In Kiosk and set a 4-digit Kiosk PIN. It stops children leaving the check-in screen; it is not a security feature.
2. Click Generate Access Code. You get a one-time code that expires after 24 hours.
3. On your tablet, open a browser and go to kolva.club/kiosk.
4. Enter the access code. The kiosk exchanges it for a token unique to that device and stores it on the tablet.
5. The kiosk now shows today's sessions automatically. The access code is used up, so generate a new one for each additional device.

Access codes and device tokens

Each kiosk gets its own token after activation, instead of sharing one club-wide secret. Access codes are single-use and expire after 24 hours, so sharing one with a parent by mistake doesn't give them long-term access.

If a tablet is lost or stolen, contact us and we'll revoke it. You can't list or revoke kiosk devices yourself yet.

How athletes check in

1. The tablet displays a list of today's sessions
2. Athletes select their session
3. They find and tap their name
4. A confirmation appears and their attendance is recorded

Offline support

The kiosk works offline as a PWA. If the internet drops during a session, check-ins are stored on the tablet and synced when the connection returns.

If a kiosk asks to be activated again

A kiosk that was set up a long time ago, before each device got its own token, asks for a new access code. Generate one from Settings → Check-In Kiosk and enter it on that tablet. Check that no check-ins are waiting to sync before you do.

Tips

• Mount the tablet at the entrance for easy access
• Use "Guided Access" on iPad or "Screen Pinning" on Android to lock the tablet to the kiosk screen
