What is kiosk mode?
Kiosk mode is a new storytelling page which can be used for any service we list.
It differs from our standard "tell your story" page in a few important ways:
- A story posted through the kiosk mode page will be linked to the single service for that page.
- There's no facility to add tags to the story.
- The form is shorter than our usual workflow.
- The story author won't be logged in.
- The page goes "back to the start" once a story is submitted.
All this makes kiosk mode a good solution when you are collecting stories for one service, you might be sharing a device between people, and you need a shorter, simpler storytelling workflow.
When we moderate stories coming in through kiosk mode, we will add the relevant tags. We'll also add links to any additional services which are mentioned in the story, so we can join up care pathways.
How to get started
Getting started with kiosk mode is quick and easy. You don't need to log in.
First, find the service on the Care Opinion Canada website which you want to collect stories about.
Second, on that page follow the link for kiosk mode. It's a small link to the lower right, and it looks like this:
That's all there is to it. Now you can start inviting stories!
