Customers interacting with the kiosk navigate through a sequence of pages known as the "kiosk's flow".
The process starts by determining if the customer wants to check into a pre-scheduled appointment or join the queue for walk-in services.

Require Customer ID
For walk-in services that require a customer ID, the kiosk will prompt the customer for identification.
Depending on the "Customers" table self-authentication configuration, the portal will ask for key and validation fields or a customer ID and OTP.
