Single App Mode

It would be super helpful if Klipfolio offered a single app mode feature. We have Chromeboxs all around my organization's building in various locations such as in pantries, hallways and executive offices. We have our Klipfolio Dashboard running off of most of them using Google Chrome. The issue is some users might take advantage of that device and open another tab on Google Chrome and surf the web. Something Google Apps for business offers is Single App Mode or Kiosk mode. Kiosk mode is a mode on a Chrome device which allows 1 Application from the Chrome Store to be open and locked at that device. The Application will stay open no matter what. Its not possible to open another application therefor Klipfolio will stay on that device.

Please email me for any questions

Thanks!

    Hi Damian - I'm not sure this will meet your business requirement, but we internally use a combination of Klipfolio Published Private Links (URLs) and a 3rd party web service called RiseVision to manage the schedule an content on digital wallboards (TVs) around the office.  Here is a document that describes our setup.

    https://support.klipfolio.com/hc/en-us/articles/215952938-Using-RiseVision-to-display-your-Klipfolio-dashboard-on-big-screen-TVs-or-digital-wallboards?query=risevision

    In our setup, there is no keyboard and mouse left with the compute stick, and the RiseVision Player takes over the PC at startup.  While in theory someone could still hack in if motivated, this definitely keep the honest people honest.

    The RiseVision account is FREE, and is an elegant way to push many dashboards to many wallboards on a schedule managed remotely from any browser.  RiseVision also has other digital signage features that many customers find useful.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Damian,

    I would also like to understand more about the kinds of 'Chrome boxes' you are using.  Can you share some additional details?

    Building a Chrome App is not currently on our radar, however it would be good to understand the requirement and your situation more.  Any additional details about the configuration of your Chrome boxes would be helpful.

    Thanks,

    Scott.

    Hi Scott,

    We are familiar with Rise Vision as its used thought our building! 

    A Chromebox is Google's Version of Desktop Computer. I have attached a image of it. It runs Chrome OS and only application from the Chrome Store work on it such as Rise Vision. A app just like Rise Vision but just for Klipfolio would be great and professional instead of using a 3rd party application to run the dashboard.

     

    Thanks,

    Damian

    Thanks for the additional context, Damian.

    Glad to hear you have an option in RiseVision while we look into the possibility.

    Cheers,

    Scott.
