Announcing Kiosk 1.1 - Customize screen titles, configure new fields & actions, use values from your Kiosk to update fields, and more.

Hello all


We are back again with more enhancements to Kiosk. So what's new?


Enhancements made to the Components

  • Add titles for your Kiosk screens and adjust its width to suit your viewing preferences.

  • Three new fields can be added to your screen: Percentage, URL, & Decimal

  • Edit the default path's name of your Kiosk in the decision component.

Enhancements made to the Actions

  • Convert, Add Meeting, & Add Calls actions can now be configured in your Kiosk.

  • Merge any value from your Kiosk screens or from CRM data using the # Merge Field function in the field update action.

  • Select values from existing data in the picklist fields, multi-line fields and check box fields in the create record action.


Let's dive into the details below.

Add titles for your Kiosk screens and adjust its width to suit your viewing preferences

  • Screen titles can help grab attention and set the tone for users interacting with your Kiosk. You can customize the screen title to match the purpose of your kiosk. Choose to either use the component's name as the title, set a new title, or leave it blank.
  • Configure the screen width to either 670 pixels or 1000 pixels. A screen width of 670 pixels is recommended for popup windows, while a screen width of 1000 pixels is more suitable for a larger display preference.


Percentage, URL, & Decimal : The three new fields that can be added to your Kiosk screen

In CRM, Kiosks give you great flexibility to collect and display data on your screens to your users. You can now add the Percentage, URL, and Decimal fields to your screens in addition to those already available. Read this article to learn what fields are available to be added to your screens.


Decimal

Use this field to allow users to enter number values as decimals in your Kiosk screens. You can choose to define the maximum digits allowed and the number of decimal places that can be displayed. Also choose to merge any value from your Kiosk, be it from screen fields or data you get from the CRM system, mark it as a mandatory field, display it with number separators, and show a tooltip for users to get a little more understanding.

Percentage

Use this field to allow users to enter a percentage value into your Kiosk screens. You can choose to merge any value from your Kiosk, be it from screen fields or data you get from the CRM system, mark it as a mandatory field, and show a tooltip for users to get a little more understanding.

URL

Use this field to allow users to enter a URL in your Kiosk screens. You can choose to merge any value from your Kiosk, be it from screen fields or data you get from the CRM system, mark it as a mandatory field, and show a tooltip for users to get a little more understanding.


Edit the default path's name in your Kiosk's decision component screen

You can now customize the default path name in the decision component of your Kiosk to suit your preference.

Convert, Add Meeting, & Add Calls : The three new actions that can be configured in your Kiosk

In your Kiosk, you can set up actions to be displayed to users or save data from users in the CRM system. In addition to the available actions, you now have the option to convert a lead to a contact, schedule a meeting, or arrange a call with users interacting with your Kiosk.



Convert

Use this action to convert your records in the Kiosk screen. Say you have created a Kiosk for the new leads in your CRM system - New lead Kiosk. You can now use the convert action to convert those leads to contacts when a record has been updated. You can also create a new deal for the newly converted leads and use the CRM system to follow up with the contact.



Add Meeting

Set up meetings with users who interact with your kiosks. Let's say you have a Kiosk setup for customers who've purchased your product. You can now schedule meetings with them from your kiosk as soon as they have completed a purchase. You use this action to provide a demo of your products or provide additional information if needed.



Schedule a call

You can use a Kiosk screen to schedule calls with users interacting through a Kiosk. For instance, if you have set up a Kiosk for new customers, you can schedule calls to provide them with a product briefing, clarify any doubts, or inform them about new features.



Merge any value using # Merge Field from your Kiosk screen or from CRM data in the Field Update action

Previously, the field update action allowed you to update the field values of only the current records. It was not possible to update field values using existing data from your Kiosk screen or the data collected through the GetRecord function. This limitation created a roadblock, impacting the overall effectiveness of the Kiosk feature by not giving users the ability to work on various scenarios where they needed to merge values from existing data in their Kiosks.


Now, you can use the # Merge Field function to merge any value from your Kiosk screens or values from the GetRecord function in the Field Update action. Let's say, you have a Kiosk for new leads - New lead Kiosk. Your aim is to get data from the lead to determine if they are interested in purchasing your product. If they are, you wish to convert them into Contacts using the Convert action. During this process, you may find that multiple leads already exist in your CRM system. In such cases, you want to update the lead status of these existing leads using the data from your New lead Kiosk screen. To accomplish this, you can utilize the # Merge Field function to merge the lead status values from the New Lead Kiosk screen and update those values as the current value for the existing leads.


Select values from existing data in picklist fields, multi-line fields and check box fields in the Create Record Action

Previously in Kiosk, you were limited to selecting values from the current data for picklist fields, multi-line fields, or check box fields when you configure a Create Record Action. This limited the possibilities of users being able to create Kiosks for numerous different scenarios.


Now, you can select values for picklist fields, multi-line fields, or check box fields from either current data or existing data for the Create Record action in your Kiosk. To accomplish this, we have introduced Static and Reference selection options for these fields. To use values from the current data, choose the Static option. To select values from existing data using merge fields, you can choose the Reference option.


Imagine you have a Feedback Kiosk designed to collect customer feedback. Your aim is to gather feedback from users who have interacted with the first screen of the kiosk. This initial screen collects information such as the user's name, email address, and country. Your "create record" action will feature similar fields, allowing users to input their email address, country, and provide their feedback in a text box. Additionally, you can offer users the option to opt out of receiving future emails. This information can be retrieved from the first screen using the # Merge field function from the Reference option. This eliminates the need for users to re-enter their details and thereby enhancing the efficiency and convenience of the feedback process.


Availability : These enhancements are available to all partner demo accounts of all DCs except IN DC. We will update you on its availability in the IN DC soon.

A glimpse at our roadmap for Kiosk Studio:

  1. Bring data from third-party applications into a kiosk.

  2. You will have an option to display GetRecords in a table with optional selection or as a list without any selection.

  3. Kiosk Studio will support Zoho Flow Actions.

  4. Add OpenURL and OpenRecord as actions soon in Kiosk Studio.

  5. Create a clone of existing kiosks.

  6. Reorder buttons in Kiosk screens.

  7. Connect any path in a Kiosk.

  8. Reuse Screen Fields in your Kiosks.

  9. Let actions be completed sequentially in your Kiosk.

  10. Pass or use a response in the next set of actions.


We've started working on these features and will have them ready soon. There are more cool updates coming for Kiosk Studio too, so stay tuned!

Thanks and have a great day!
