Kiosk Mode

Kiosk Mode gives DriveWorks User the ability to run a Specification full screen without any DriveWorks UI (header bar, command bar, task list and notification area).

To open a Specification or DriveApp in Kiosk Mode:

1. Follow the steps for creating a Quick Launch shortcut into a Specification or DriveApp.
2. Add /Kiosk to the end of the path created for the Target.

   For example the Target field will be as following for starting a Specification in Kiosk Mode:

   "C:\Program Files\DriveWorks\<Version>\DriveWorksUser.exe" /Group:MyGroup /Username:UserName /Password:Password /CreateSpecification:ProjectName /Kiosk

   And for starting a DriveApp in Kiosk Mode:

   "C:\Program Files\DriveWorks\<Version>\DriveWorksUser.exe" /Group:MyGroup /Username:UserName /Password:Password /OpenDriveApp:CPQ /Kiosk
