Kiosk Default Config

Overview

The Kiosk Default Configuration section allows administrators to define the default behavior and appearance of kiosks. Separate configuration panels are available for Horizontal and Vertical kiosk layouts, enabling each orientation to have its own independent settings.

These configurations control the kiosk's screensaver, home content, products, categories, map behavior, printer settings, Smart Scale, and other default options.

Navigate to VirtuKiosk → Kiosk Default Config to manage these settings.
