Preload Webviews with the Expert Settings of SiteKiosk Online

The following works for SiteKiosk Online Version 1 or higher.

In case you want to preload webviews in sequences or on certain pages you want to navigate to, you can use two expert settings, which have to be combined. The following example uses a project which consists of a sequence container with an included webpage element.

Open the project and activate the expert mode. For this you have to add &expert at the end of the URL in the URL address field of your browser and then press Enter to reload the project.

 

After activation of the expert mode, select the webpage element and press the expert edit button in the menu bar.

 

Scroll in the expert properties on the right to the entry shouldUnloadWhenHidden and deactivate the checkbox.

Scroll to the bottom of the expert settings and in the Add property edit box enter the entry shouldReloadWhenHidden. Choose Boolean in the dropdown menu and activate the checkbox. Then press the plus button.

Scroll again to the bottom of the expert settings and in the Add property edit box enter the entry loadOnCreation. Choose Boolean in the dropdown menu and activate the checkbox. Then press the plus button.

Please save the expert properties by pressing the Save button.

Make a copy of the webpage element and insert it into the sequence.

Set a start URL for each webpage element in the element properties and set the display duration of each webpage element to e.g. 60 seconds. 

Publish the project to a client to check the preload function.
