Make sure PHYSREG_API_BASE in script.js is configured to point to a working instance of the physreg API:
var PHYSREG_API_BASE = "https://www.physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/physreg";Also make sure QUOTA_API_BASE in content/quota.js is configured to point to a working instance of cups_quota:
var QUOTA_API_BASE = "https://www.physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/quota";Physdash's FAQ may contain links to external webpages - if users are not supposed to leave physdash, a "Kiosk Mode" can be enabled by adding the ?kioskmode=1 parameter to the query URL. This disables the FAQ entirely.
