Steps to Configure:

1. Login into MD Kiosk Web UI

   1. Navigate to Workflows → Employee Worflows → File Handling

2. Configure Post Action

   1. Under Post Action, select Copy to Secondary Location.
   2. Activate Directory and fill out the required fields:
      1. Path: Enter the remote network location path (Example: \192.168.0.1\test\folder).
      2. Display Name: Provide an appropriate name that identifies this location clearly.
      3. Setup the Access Control for either Inherited or Restricted:
         1. Inherited: Files and folders will inherit the same permissions as the parent folder
         2. Restricted: Only Kiosk authenticated users will have the permissions to access their files and folders

Important:

• Setting Access Control to Restricted is critical, as this limits file and folder permissions specifically to users who authenticate through the Kiosk.

• The OPSWAT Kiosk feature for copying files only supports Windows network shared folders. Using a file-sharing system on Linux is not supported by this feature.

• This configuration is available for both Allowed & Blocked settings in the File Handling setting.
