Server Features
Enterprise Server Console allows you to maintain centralized communication with your individual kiosks through the Kiosk Client, which runs locally on the machine to secure the kiosks. The Server Console resides on a server that is accessible via the Internet by all kiosks.
This software contains the Admin Tool, which can be used to generate numerous reports on kiosk usage and contains the following features:
User Management

Kiosk Organization
Individual kiosks are organized into an unlimited number of projects. In Enterprise Server ASP, projects can be organized into an unlimited number of sites. In addition, to provide the most organizational flexibility an unlimited number of groups can be created which can contain kiosks, projects or other groups.
Usage Statistics
Kiosk usage statistics can be uploaded to the Enterprise Server Console at an interval as quick as every 10 minutes, or at the end of every user session. The Server can generate reports that display usage statistics on a per page basis that shows total page displays, total display time, maximum display time and average display time.
File Updating
