Install Chrome and Launch Vizito App

  1. Install Google Chrome. If you don’t have Google Chrome installed on your computer, download it here and install it.

  2. Go to the Vizito frontoffice and click on “I have a Vizito account”.

  3. In the target field, add the following text to the end, after a space: --kiosk-printing --kiosk "https://frontoffice.vizito.be/".

    If you do not intend to print visitor badges, you can omit --kiosk-printing. For more information on how to set up badge printing, refer to our help center article Chrome Badge Printing.

  4. Optionally, you can rename your shortcut in the ‘General’ tab and select a different icon in the ‘Shortcut’ tab using the ‘Change Icon’ button.

Background Printing without Full Kiosk Mode

If you prefer to not be locked into Kiosk Mode and want to toggle full-screen on and off using the F11 key, follow the same steps as above, but in step 6, do not include the flag --kiosk. Instead, use only --kiosk-printing. This will enable silent/background printing without forcing full-screen mode.

Recommendation

We recommend using a system lockdown application to protect the PC from unwanted access. An example of this kind of software is KioWare.
