info iconThis feature is in Beta mode. Information may change as the feature is updated for formal release.
Some Apporto customers run the virtual desktop on Chromebooks in kiosk mode. This helps prevent unintentionally exiting Apporto, as is possible in Apporto standard browser mode.
Kiosk mode is described in the article on accessing the Apporto app store. 
There are some minor differences between kiosk mode and standard browser mode:
  • Appearance
  • Browser behavior

Appearance

The standard mode of Apporto is loaded in a browser, as shown below. standard browser view of apporto 
When running in kiosk mode, Apporto is viewed in full screen without the browser address bar and frame. kiosk view of Apporto login screen

 

Browser behavior

In standard mode, users have all default browser functions available. This includes click/touch interactions (e.g., left arrow icon, right arrow icon, refresh icon, plus icon) as well as hotkey functions such as the ones shown below. browser menu In kiosk mode, the click/touch interactions will not be visible because the browser bar is hidden. Also, the following browser hotkey functions are disabled:
  • Ctrl+T for a new tab
  • Ctrl+W to close the current tab/window
