To prevent the settings of NodeView from being modified and viewed
by anyone, an administrator password must be set. An administrator
account has the right to add/modify workstations, operator
accounts, the rates for your site, and other variables for your
site that will affect the profit and performance of your establishment.
Click Settings -> Configuration
or press ctrl-c to access the
configuration dialog. Click change
password to change the administrator password.
Operators are your employees that use NodeView in a limited way as
watchers or support staff. If you want to track the amount of time they
have been working in addition to the number of customers they have
served, you need to create an account for each and every one of them in
NodeView. Click add in the
add/remove operators page to add an operator.
Each operator account have access rights* so you
can limit an employee to a particular task. Additionally, you need to
set an operator's password so that only he/she can use his/her account
but not other operators .
To control the kiosks or workstations in your network, you should
add them in NodeView. Each kiosk must run the OpenKiosk client program.
First you need to create a workgroup. Currently, workgroups are used
to organize the terminals in your network. In a future version of
OpenKiosk, workgroups will be used to group your workstations according
to type of use (e.g gaming/internet use, rate per hour, content
delivery).
In the configuration window, select the workstations tab then click setup in the workgroups area to add
workgroups. After you have created workgroups, you can start adding
workstations in a particular workgroup. Select a workgroup from the
drop-down combobox then add the workstations in the list below by
clicking the add button. You
must specify its name and correct IP address.
You can also perform auto-lookup* to
automatically find workstations in you network without manually having
to type every name and IP address.
