Starting Your Survey in Kiosk Mode

Conducting a survey in kiosk mode allows a survey to be conducted unattended while the kiosk computer being used is offline. It makes it easy for respondents to directly enter responses to questions into the SurveyGold application or for a surveyor to do so.
Step 1 - From the Conduct Survey tab folder, select your survey and select Conduct Survey via Kiosk.

Note: You do not need to select a respondent. A respondent is automatically created each time a survey is completed via the kiosk.
Step 2 - Specify your preferences in Kiosk Settings and select Start Kiosk.

This exits the SurveyGold application and launches the survey via the SurveyGold Kiosk application so that respondents can enter responses.

Note: Select Preview Kiosk to preview your survey as a survey author in kiosk mode. This allows you to enter response and navigate the survey in kiosk mode without exiting the SurveyGold application.

Note: The Behaviors tab provides the ability to specify a password that is used to close the SurveyGold Kiosk application. Therefore, a password is required to launch the survey via the SurveyGold Kiosk application.
Stopping Your Survey in Kiosk Mode

Canceling a survey in kiosk mode does the following:
  • In Preview Kiosk mode, this exits kiosk mode and returns control to the Kiosk Settings window.
  • In the SurveyGold Kiosk application, this closes the SurveyGold Kiosk application.
Step 1 - While the survey is displayed in kiosk mode, there are two ways to stop the kiosk mode:
  • In Preview Kiosk mode, press the Esc key.
  • In the SurveyGold Kiosk application, hold down the CTRL key and type the password.
