> The Cove Kiosk, when set up in Reserve mode, provides a dedicated room scheduling display for your property. It can be accessed on an iPad through the Cove Kiosk app or by opening kiosk.cove.is in a web browser. In Reserve mode, tenants and teams can use the tablet to view a space’s current and upcoming availability at a glance. The Reserve tablet does not allow users to create reservations and is intended only to display the room’s schedule, which must be managed through your building dashboard or mobile app.

> 
> Go to Settings > Accessibility
> 
> Turn on Guided Access
> 
> Tap Passcode Settings, then tap Set Guided Access Passcode
> 
> Enter a passcode, then re-enter it to confirm
> 
> Passcode recommendations:
> 
> Use your building address number as the passcode.
> Example: If the address is 1666 Connecticut Ave, use 1666 (or 001666 if the iPad requires a 6-digit code).
> 
> Securely save your tablet passcodes so that other members of your team can access the tablets.

> Tap Start to begin Guided Access Mode
> 
> 7. If you are using the Kiosk in a web browser, switch the browser to full screen mode.
> Set the browser to full screen or kiosk-style display mode so the Kiosk App fills the entire tablet screen and reduces visible browser controls.
> 
> Look for a full screen icon in the browser menu.
> 
> Open the browser’s menu and select options such as Full Screen, Hide Toolbar, or Add to Home Screen.
> 
> On some tablets, opening the page from a home screen shortcut can create a more app-like full-screen experience.
> 
> The exact steps vary by tablet and browser.
> Reconfiguring The App for a New Amenity Space or Adjusting The Configurations
> 
> If you need to update the room configuration, change the selected space, or set up the tablet for a different amenity space, you can restart the app at any time.
> 
> To do this, tap the powered by cove logo 10 times. Restarting the app allows you to reselect the site, space, and tablet configuration as needed.
