Creating a Kiosk Portal Instance

The Shop Floor Kiosk runs as a Modern Portal instance that is separate from your main MYOB Acumatica site but shares the same database. You create it by using the MYOB Acumatica ERP Configuration Wizard.

To deploy the kiosk instance, do the following:

1. Launch the MYOB Acumatica ERP Configuration Wizard on the web server where the kiosk will be hosted.
2. On the Welcome page, click Deploy a New Acumatica ERP Instance.
3. On the Database Configuration page, select Connect to an Existing Database, and select the database used by your MYOB Acumatica instance.
4. On the Instance Configuration page, enter a name for the kiosk instance. Under the instance type options, select Create Modern Portal.
5. Complete the remaining steps of the wizard and click Finish.

Editing the Web.config Files

After the kiosk instance is deployed, you must add a parameter to the web.config files of both the ERP installation and the kiosk installation. This setting enables both applications to work with the same database.

To edit the web.config files, do the following:

1. On the web server, open the web.config file located in the website folder of the main MYOB Acumatica installation.
2. In the appSettings section of the file, add the following line:

   <add key="IsMultiSiteMode" value="True" />

3. Save the file.
4. Open the web.config file located in the website folder of the kiosk installation.
5. Add the same line to the appSettings section of that file.
6. Save the file.
