After media has been processed, the session results appear.
If any file was not processed by MetaDefender, a warning will pop up indicating that not all files were processed.
The session results include whether processing was completed or aborted, the number of files allowed and blocked and the total number of files processed.
The session result page includes the following buttons:
Allowed: If allowed files are found, then the Allowed count will appear. Click this button to go to the Allowed file summary screen.
Blocked: If blocked files are found, then the Blocked count will appear. Click this button to go to the Blocked file summary screen.
Copy & Print: Clicking this button will begin the file transfer process to any destination configured. If printing is enabled, the session results will be printed to the default printer.
Viewing details about blocked files
The Blocked File Details screen displays the blocked files detected by MetaDefender Kiosk during processing. You can click a blocked file to view more details.
Some files published from countries in the COO forbidden list are reported as blocked as well.
Data Included in the Kiosk Session Log File
After scanning is complete, button [Copy&Print] or [Print] might appear, depending on settings in the workflow.
The picture below shows the KIOSK Session Summary:
When the user performs the "Print" or "Copy & Print" action on the KIOSK UI, the KIOSK scan results are printed as a PDF on the active printer, allowing the user to review them and proceed with the next actions.
If the current workflow is configured to copy allowed/blocked files to user media, then user is required to insert another media. User should not pull out the source media or the session will be terminated.
If the current workflow is configured to copy allowed/blocked files to MFT server, user will see the copy progress. It might take time depending on network bandwidth and file sizes.
In case of uploading to MFT server, the uploaded files can be accessed later from MFT with the same user credential that has been loggend into the Kiosk session. In case of guest login, the file owner MFT ID is generated and concealed on the screen result for security reasons, click on the eye icon to reveal it.
See 9.6. Viewing the Session Results for more information.

Note: The printing process is executed on windows system profile and might need an accessible Desktop folder for that profile. If the Desktop folder is not available, Kiosk will temporarily create it and remove it after the printing is complete. Kiosk might also change the access permission of the parent folder of the Desktop to full control to create the subfolder Desktop and restore its original permissions when the printing is complete. However, if IT administrators have changed the permission to Denied, Kiosk keep everything unchanged. Please ask the IT to change its permission or just proceed the printing by clicking OK when the warning popup "Location is not available" occurs.
