Only necessary if you're using your own iPad. iPads provided by SurveyStance already have these settings built in.

Follow these steps to get your own iPad ready to use as a feedback kiosk. They keep the screen on, keep the iPad quiet, and stop people from leaving the SurveyStance app.

1. Keep the screen on

Go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock and choose Never. Keep the iPad plugged in so it stays charged.

2. Turn off sounds and notifications

Press the volume-down button until the volume is all the way off. Then turn on Do Not Disturb (swipe down from the top-right corner to open Control Center, tap Focus, then Do Not Disturb) so pop-ups and alerts don't appear over your survey.

3. Connect to WiFi

Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and connect to a reliable network. The SurveyStance app needs a connection to log in and send rates to your portal. See Checking iPad WiFi Connectivity.

4. Install and update the SurveyStance app

Download SurveyStance Pro from the App Store, or update it to the latest version if it's already installed.

5. Lock the iPad to the SurveyStance app with Guided Access

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Guided Access, turn it on, set a passcode, turn on Accessibility Shortcut and set Display Auto-Lock to Never. Guided Access also blocks gestures, Control Center and the App Switcher, so participants can't get to other apps.

Then launch your survey in the SurveyStance app and triple-click the top button (or Home button) and tap Start. For the full steps, see Guided Access Mode - Setup.
