End Session Actions

Published: · IZI Team

Sessions end in two ways: naturally (the tariff time runs out) or manually (admin or player ends it early). Both paths lock the PC and write the session record — but the manual path has additional options depending on the tariff’s refund policy.

When the tariff timer hits zero:

  1. IZI Boot receives the automatic end command
  2. The PC transitions to screensaver mode
  3. The session record is written with the full duration
  4. If the tariff has a warning threshold configured — the player received a warning before expiry

No admin action required. The PC becomes available for the next session automatically.

In the Hall view, click the device card → End session.

A dialog appears showing:

  • Remaining time on the tariff
  • Refund policy that applies (based on the tariff configuration)
  • Option to add a note (optional)

Confirm to end. IZI Boot locks the PC, the session is recorded with the actual duration used.

Refund policy outcomes:

  • Keep balance — unused time remains on the client’s tariff for future use
  • Convert to bonus — unused fraction converts to bonus balance
  • Burn — unused time is cancelled, no credit

Every ended session appears in:

  • The client’s profile → Session history
  • Analytics → Sessions
  • The shift’s Z-report (revenue attributed to the shift)
  • Confirm the PC shows as Free in the Hall view
  • If the client is leaving — ensure their balance is settled (no pending bar orders or unpaid balance)
  • If the client wants to continue on another PC — use Transfer session instead of ending and restarting

Frequently asked questions

What happens to unused time when a session is manually ended?

Depends on the tariff's refund policy: keep balance (time stays for later use), convert to bonus (unused time becomes bonus credit), or burn (unused time is cancelled).

Can the player end their own session?

Yes, if the mobile app is enabled and the player has the IZI app. They can end their session from the app. Admin can also end it from the Hall view.

Does ending a session immediately lock the PC?

Yes. When a session ends, IZI Boot receives the end command and transitions the PC to screensaver mode within seconds.
