    One kiosk tablet, three operators a day: how should sign-in work at shift change?

    We mounted one tablet per line and open the Proveris web kiosk on it. To keep it simple we created a single user called "line1" and everyone uses it. Now quality wants to know who approved which downtime, and in Shift Monitoring every row shows "line1" as Approved By, which tells us nothing.
    On the other hand, I don't want operators to log out, close the browser and type the URL again at every shift change; they will just stop using it. Is there a recommended way to run a shared kiosk with personal accounts? Also, the line has two machines, so the operator sometimes needs to switch between them.

    Personal accounts on a shared tablet is the setup we recommend, and the kiosk is designed for it.
    Personal accounts
    1. On the USERS page, create one account per operator with the Operator role.
    2. In Assigned Machines, select the two machines of that line for each operator.
    3. Retire the shared "line1" account.
    Shift change
    Open the user menu in the kiosk header and use Change user. The incoming operator signs in with their own account and the kiosk stays open, so nobody has to type a URL. From then on, downtime approvals and wastage entries are recorded under the right person, and "Approved By" in Shift Monitoring becomes useful.
    Two machines on one line
    Use Change machine in the kiosk to switch between them. Only machines assigned to the signed-in user are listed, which also prevents entries on another line's machine.
    Practical tips
    - Ask the outgoing operator to clear their "downtimes awaiting approval" before handing over. The notification counter on the kiosk shows how many are pending.
    - Supervisors who also use the tablet can go back with Back to Management Panel.
    - Keep passwords short but personal. If sign-in is painful, sharing comes back within a week.
