Set an iPad up as the studio kiosk
Kiosk mode is a mode of the app you already run, so any iPad in the building can take the job. What follows is the device side of it — pairing, placement and the settings that keep a tablet out front all day. For what members and walk-ins actually see on the screen, the Clovo Kiosk page covers the check-in flow and the showroom in full.
Pair the iPad from Clovo Studio
Setup lives in Clovo Studio under Setup → Kiosk, not on the tablet. Pair the iPad, give it a name for where it will sit, pick the modes it should run, then hit Go live. Nothing gets typed into the iPad itself, and Unpair hands the device straight back to you when the day is done.
You can see how the iPad is doing without walking over
A paired device gets its own panel on the dashboard: which iPad it is, where it sits, whether it is still in locked mode, how long since the last check-in and how much battery is left. If the tablet by the door has been quiet for an hour or is down to 8%, you find out from the desk instead of from a member who could not check in.
The extra screen is the whole reason to use a tablet
A phone can run the kiosk, but it shows one thing at a time. On an iPad the scan camera and the live arrivals feed sit side by side, so a member scans on the left while whoever is nearby watches the count climb on the right. Class names, times and studio numbers stay legible from a few steps back rather than needing someone to lean in.
A few iPadOS settings and it can stay out all day
Two settings do most of the work: set Screen Timeout to Never so the tablet never drops to a lock screen mid-shift, and turn on Guided Access so a curious visitor cannot swipe out to the home screen. Keep it on a charger and the iPad simply lives at the front of the studio.
One iPad, two jobs
Nothing about this is permanent. Unpair the device or authenticate your way out and the same iPad is back to the layout described further up this page — roll call, today’s schedule, class notes, the admin tab. Plenty of studios run one tablet as reception through opening hours and carry it onto the floor afterwards.
That is the hardware side. The screen members and walk-ins actually meet — the scan flow, the result cards staff read after each scan, and the showroom — has a page of its own.
