Installing the SoftDent Scheduler KIOSK Check-In Module on a Workstation

A dedicated KIOSK workstation must be activated from the SoftDent Scheduler software on the SoftDent Scheduler server. To accommodate this, you must share the KIOSK workstation’s hard drive. For more information on sharing and mapping drives and folders, see the documentation and online help provided with your Microsoft Windows operating system.

The KIOSK setup files are placed in the C:\SoftDent\KSetup directory of the SoftDent Scheduler server. If you update the software via the Internet, you must share this directory so you can browse to this folder from the KIOSK workstation you are setting up. Since non-employees access KIOSK workstations, permissions for user accounts on these computers should allow access to ONLY the KSetup subdirectory, and not the main SoftDent directory above it.

Before installing the KIOSK check-in module, verify that this feature is enabled in your license file. To purchase the module or for additional information, contact your Carestream Dental representative.
