Logout Button

The logout button in the toolbar allows your users to erase their activities.

 

	When enabled, a logout button will be displayed in the toolbar.

Logout Button

By clicking the Logout button the user ensures that all terminal activites are erased, i.e. the browser will close all running applications and all open windows, return to the Start Page, and clear the browser history (Back button will be deactivated).
Erase Traces
You can also adjust the settings for the Logout button so that the browser will delete all Temporary Internet Files, Cookies and personal certificates. Simply check the boxes to enable these additional functions.
If the print feature of SiteKiosk is being used and printer monitoring is activated, queued print jobs will be deleted as well.

Logout Navigation
As soon as you click the checkbox AND enter an HTML page in the field below it, this HTML page will determine the next step that SiteKiosk will take when the user presses the Logout button.
If you want to deploy HTML pages stored on your local hard drive (file://), you can also specify $(SiteKioskPath) as an alternative variable for your installation directory (rather than, e.g. c:/program files/sitekiosk).

You can, for example, integrate a script into this HTML page which will, for instance, ask the user if she really wants to end her session. You can also have advertizing banners displayed.

In order for SiteKiosk to return to the selected start page after showing the logout page, a navigation needs to be triggered in the script part of that page. The following lines of JavaScript code are needed:

window.external.InitScriptInterface(); SiteKiosk.WindowList.MainWindow.SiteKioskWindow. SiteKioskWebBrowser.Navigate(SiteKiosk.URLs. StartPage, false);

The first call will make the SiteKiosk object available in the script, and the second call will execute the actual navigation process.

Important:
Please note that a defective script can make it impossible for you to log out of SiteKiosk.
