This article details how to place a RIW Kiosk into site closed mode, which means the kiosk is unable to swipe workers in or out of site.  

This could be applied by the RIW Service Desk due to an RIW System scheduled service interruption (which would be communicated prior to the event) or an unplanned service interruption. Site closed mode can also be applied by the Kiosk administrator in the RIW System.

The following site closed message will appear on a kiosk when the site has been closed.

When a kiosk is operating in site closed mode, alternative methods for swiping cardholders is advised, such as using the RIW App or Web Card Reader.

IMPORTANT: If a site has an associated turnstile, the turnstile should be manually powered down/switched off during the service interruption window.
