News items in kiosk mode show in three places: before the login screen, cycling through all valid items, and after each user logs in.
General kiosk news |
These items show on the main kiosk screen, and are automatically cycled through when no one is signed in. Only those valid on the current date are shown. |
Signed-in kiosk news |
These are shown once to each volunteer immediately after they sign in, and before they're able to perform any other actions. News items that a volunteer has seen before are always available in the Old news screen. |
