About Kiosk Mode
Kiosk Mode is a full-screen, real-time way to show Shahin dashboards on organizational screens, monitoring-room displays or office spaces, so teams stay continuously aware of the site's status.
It lets you define several dedicated display profiles — each with its own projects, time windows, color theme and rotation timing — to match the needs of each part of the organization (e.g. a newsroom display, the marketing team or managers).
Components & settings
Display-profile configuration — the profile list beside an editor; each profile has a name and is configured by these variables:
- Data time window — show the last 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes.
- Rotation interval — how long between projects: 5, 10 or 15 seconds.
- Project selection — add up to 4 projects to the rotation, with a live counter.
- Theme — light or dark.
Each profile has Play, Edit and Delete actions and must be saved before it can play.
Playback header — the profile name, a Live indicator, that profile’s window and rotation interval, a live clock, and the full-screen and Exit controls.
Optimized stat cards — the key measures (pageviews and sessions) in a large font with a day-over-day comparison, for readability across the room.
Active-project detail — Top Pages and the main incoming traffic channels (Top Traffic Sources) as a donut chart and a category / value / share table.
The UTM table — live incoming traffic by campaign, source and medium, alongside pageviews, sessions, users and views-per-session.
Setup & running
- Open Kiosk Mode from the sidebar and create a new display profile.
- Set the profile parameters (profile name, data time window, rotation interval, up to 4 projects and the theme) and save; Play becomes available once saved.
- Click Play; data updates automatically in real time and rotation between projects begins.
- To leave full-screen, choose Exit. To keep a public display secure, closing it requires confirmation with a one-time code (OTP).
Key notes:
- Project eligibility — only projects with an allowed plan and enough remaining quota appear in the rotation; if a project doesn't qualify, a status note is shown and rotation continues among the other valid projects (resolved by upgrading the plan).
- Account security — Kiosk runs on a separate security token, so the public screen has no access to the rest of the admin panel or its settings.
- Screen size — this feature is designed for large, landscape organizational displays and is not recommended on mobile screens.
FAQ
A standalone display mode for public screens (office TV, monitoring room, lobby), opened from the sidebar; you create a display profile and Play takes the live dashboard full-screen.
Each project takes up to 10 display profiles, and each profile up to 4 projects in its rotation.
Either its plan lacks kiosk support or its pageview cap is full; ineligible projects are silently left out of the rotation while the rest keep playing. Both are resolved by upgrading the plan.
With the on-screen Exit button; exiting requires a one-time code (OTP) so nobody can close a public display without permission.
