can I share an app and open it on the mobile kiosk?

I see on the Jotform mobile app there is an option for Submissions, Forms & APPS, I worked out how to share a Form via email to the mobile app, can I share an app I have already created and open it on the mobile kiosk? 

Hi Jodie,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Currently, what we can open in Kiosk mode is the form. On the Jotform Mobile App, you can use Offline Mode to save your form to your device for filling out, or you can use Kiosk Mode, even without an internet connection. All submission data will be saved to your device and sent to your Inbox once you're connected to the internet. Let me show you how to set it up:

1. On your My Forms page, tap on the form that you want to access in Offline Mode.

2. On the bottom-right side of the menu that opens, toggle Offline Mode to the On position.

You can't use certain widgets and elements in Offline Mode because they require an internet connection to function properly. Let me show you how to use Kiosk Mode when you don't have an internet connection:

1. On your My Form page, tap on the form that you want to open in Kiosk Mode.

2. About halfway down in the menu that comes up, tap on Kiosk Mode.

3. Adjust the Kiosk Settings as you like and then tap on Launch Kiosk at the bottom. And that's it.

If you are referring to your My Apps, yes you can share your App and add the app to your home screen, open the App in your mobile browser, and then usually you'll see an option to "Add to Home Screen" which will allow you to create a shortcut icon on your home screen that directly accesses the App. If there's no option to add it, you can click the download icon at the top of the browser and select Add to Home screen. Check out the screencast below:

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Great thanks for the answer, so does that mean the APP section of the app is not functioning? I was wondering if I can use my APP in offline mode too. But looks like we can do that by form individually which also works!

Hi Jodie,

You can access your App using the Jotform Mobile App. If you have the App created already it should appear under the App section. At this moment, it takes time to load. Take a look at the screenshots below:

If you click the App created, there's no option to use it in Offline/Kiosk mode. The offline mode is only available in Forms.

Reach out again if you have any other questions.

Ok thanks!
