Overview
This feature was available as of Build 1747_0010.
BackOffice Admins can configure and create Open Hour schedules. Open Hours designate a kiosk's opening hours of use; hours that not set in the scheduler are "Close Hours". During these times, kiosk graphics will be darkened and indicate "KIOSK CLOSED" to users.

What if a customer is using the kiosk?
Note that the Kiosk Menu Closed Screen only comes up when it is on the Main Menu screen, i.e. a transaction is not occuring.
In the chance that a customer is in the middle of a transaction and the Close Hour kicks in, customers will still be allowed to continue using the kiosk, until they have returned back to the main splash screen.
