Changes to exam.tools web pages to better support kiosk mode on tablets
There should be a way to lock https://exam.tools and https://exam.tools/portal/applicant web pages to a specific callsign.
When locked to a specific callsign, joining an exam session using either the first or the second form of the URL, exam.tools would allow joining only an exam session for the specified session callsign.
When locked to a specific callsign using the first form of the URL, exam.tools would allow registering only for an exam session for the specified callsign. Exam sessions from other VEs would not show up in the list.
When locked to a specific callsign using the first form of the URL, exam.tools would allow assisting only with an exam session for the specified callsign. Exam sessions from other VEs would not show up in the list.
The first form of the URL would enable a tablet to be used to register for an exam session, take an exam, or assist with an exam. The second form of the URL would enable a tablet to be used only to take an exam.

Richard BatemanI'll be honest -- I can see a use for an easy to use link that could be bookmarked that defaults the callsign, but I don't see all that much utility to forcing it to a specific callsign. What problem are you really trying to solve? They can't join without permission from a VE and the odds of their PIN working on another session are (literally) 10,000 to 1. I cannot actually think of any actual problem which could be caused because someone could change the callsign.

Herb Weiner, AA7HWThanks, Richard. I am OK with defaulting rather than locking to the callsign.
