Kiosk mode allows you to include employees in your Salpulse Survey who do not have a work email address. For example, people who work on the factory floor.

Then say yes to the dialog that opens.

:::hint{type="info"}
NOTE: Switching on kiosk mode for a user will remove their email address from the system. They will no longer be able to login to Salpulse, however, they will be able to complete Salpulse surveys (from a [kiosk mode computer](docId\:ZH4Wfw6i2WozO7FckFfVi)).
:::

If you switch kiosk mode off for a user, you will be presented with the option to add an email address. If you wish the user to be able to user Salpulse, it's important that you add this email.

### Setting Up a Kiosk Mode Computer

:::hint{type="info"}
NOTE: You must be a Salpulse Administrator or Restricted Administrator to get the kiosk mode link.

NOTE: The kiosk mode link is only available for a survey you currently have **open**.
:::

Select the `Admin` menu item, click on the `Surveys` tab, then click on the `Kiosk Mode` link:

![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/JIBbX60uyU8EEhh2IsyiQ/XtydqqeIb7ZznbaeEaT_E_image.png)

This will copy the kiosk mode link to your clipboard. You can then email this link to the computer(s) you want to operate in kiosk mode.

:::hint{type="info"}
NOTE: This link is specific to the open survey and expires when the survey closes.

## Kiosk Mode Users Complete a Salpulse Survey

On the kiosk computer(s), when you open the kiosk mode link, you will be presented with the Salpulse Kiosk:

::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/JIBbX60uyU8EEhh2IsyiQ/vr9wQPETmbhtTvaw0Yjbg_image.png" size="70" isUploading="false" width="1541" height="1061" darkWidth="1541" darkHeight="1061" position="flex-start" showCaption="false"}

Direct your kiosk mode users, one by one, to sit at the kiosk computer and complete the survey, preferably in a single sitting.

Only your employees [with kiosk mode set](docId\:ZH4Wfw6i2WozO7FckFfVi) will be shown in the drop down list. Once they select their name, they will then be presented with the `Continue` button to start their survey:

::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/JIBbX60uyU8EEhh2IsyiQ/srhTMeg1QqbRcW2iHHzJz_image.png" size="70" isUploading="false" width="1539" height="1179" darkWidth="1539" darkHeight="1179" position="flex-start" showCaption="false"}

If their name is not on the list, this indicates an error in the configuration. The user has the option to press the `I can't find my name` button, which will send their name to your organistion's Salpulse adminstrator indicating that they need to be added as a kiosk mode user.

Once a kiosk mode user has completed their survey, if they are selected again from the kiosk, they will be presented with a message saying that their survey is complete.
