Scan Members: This screen is used for scanning the contact QR code and Check-In/Out the Contacts.

  • Some orgs do not have specific Jobs or Shifts that the volunteers Check-In. They only want to keep a track of total hours the volunteers have Checked in for a day.
  • These type of orgs can use the scan member screen and Check-In/Out the volunteers
    • e.g: Scanning the QR code of a Contact at a Zoo to Check-In/Out the visitors or people at an Art Gallery, etc
  • We can also give an option to select an object from Salesforce in the Scan member screen and link the Check-ins to it. Like a Campaign can be selected at the time of scanning the QR code, and the Check-ins are linked to the selected  Campaign.
    • Make sure that a lookup field on Contact Check-in is created for Campaign and select the campaign for contact Check-ins

Settings: settings tab has facilities as mentioned below


  • Auto-refresh Data: V4S Kiosk saves Salesforce API usage by using local data where possible. But if you don't regularly log out/refresh pages on the V4S Kiosk, setting this value will cause auto-refresh of data every few minutes when logged in, using the APIs but keeping the device in sync. 0 here means NO auto-refresh, click the check-box button after you make a change.

  • Change password: you can change the password for your V4S Kiosk login using the Change password button. Enter Old and New Password and click the Change Password button to change the password for your V4S Kiosk application

Offline working: The Volunteers, Teachers (Roster Users), Members, Guest (Attendees) can Check-in/Out for Jobs/Shift, Events, and Classes even when there is no data connectivity. This can happen only when all the data from Salesforce is synced with the V4S Kiosk application.

Please ensure that you have proper data connectivity when you log in to the V4S Kiosk application in the morning or the first time you log in to the V4S Kiosk application of the day. Once the data is synced then Volunteers,  Teachers (Roster Users), Members, Guest (Attendees) can Check-in/Out for Jobs/Shift, Events, and Classes even when there is no data connectivity.


Please note that only the volunteers who have Signed-up earlier or when there is proper data connectivity can Check-In and Check-Out on the V4S Kiosk when offline.


Volunteers cannot search for their name to Signup for Job or Shift when on Offline. When the Volunteer searches for his/her name the app must get the Volunteer data from Salesforce. And if there is no data connectivity, the V4S Kiosk app cannot sync with Salesforce to get the Volunteer data. Due to this, Volunteers cannot Signup for Job or Shift when offline.
