Starting from the CardExchange® Visitor Business edition it is also possible to use the CardExchange® Visitor Kiosk Client (Additional license required).
This is a stand-alone Kiosk application for self check-in and check-out by visitors.
All editions of CardExchange® Visitor come with an internal SQLite database, also starting from the CardExchange® Visitor Business edition it is also possible to connect to MySQL and SQL Server databases.
If you are setting up a multiple client environment on your network with for example, different buildings, lobbies, etc., we strongly advice to use this server based database support.
Although technically SQLite could handle multiple sessions, the database gets locked on the moment a client writes to the database and it can happen that, when another client attempts to write to this database at the same time, data problems or errors can occur.
So if you are using a multiple client environment, which will be the case when running Kiosk clients, we strongly advice to use either a MySQL or SQL Server database.
CardExchange® Visitor Kiosk clients share their configuration with a full installation of CardExchange® Visitor Busines edition, which in that case will be located on a network drive. Therefore all KIOSK clients needs to point to the same configuration folder.
