Need to provide a means to turn off the Full screen mode! at sign in
I had to upgreade from 12.03 to 12.05 to correct a problem with one of my advisors. In the upgrade the system runs in full screen mode. Our advisors run two instances at once because they are signiing students in and out at their desks. This full screen mode is creating issues for them as the cannot access other screens, Blackboard, Student central etc. They have to shut down the sign in screen or Alt Tab Or totally minimize in order to make the system work. Need to provide a Kiosk "Mode" that can be turned on and off (so the spalsh screen is not permanently full screen) depending on the setup. This needs to be optional not the default.
Done! Added an option to turn kiosk mode on or off in AccuTrack/AccuSQL 2014.

Mon That may be needed in some environments but at our Kiosk students regularly need to go out the the FSU pages to retrieve their card number. this feature blocks them from that and staff need to divert to assist them in logging in. This is creating more overhead. We do not allow students access to the admin side of Accutrack. Secondarily Advisors sign students in and out at thier desk by swiping them in and out from that screen. Often times they need to see someone else to complete their advising session, like a Mapping coordinator. Advisor pulls up the main screen to swipe the student out and then back in to see the mapping coordinator it locks out the other functionality. Need to be able to enable or disable the kiosk mode.

How are they signing students in? If they do it from admin side, they should not have this issue. The sign-in station side on the other hand is designed to take over the desktop to prevent students from disturbing the sign in process.
