hey guys, is there any way for the end user to be able to save templates on Microsoft word and excel without needing to go into the "my Files" icon? we do not want the user to have access to "my Files" on the kiosk but would like to find a way for them to be able to save documents and be able to email them all on the kiosk.
By which means can I create a feature request to SOTI? More specifically: we will be managing a few hundred mobile devices, organized in 10+ device groups, each with a specific Kiosk profile.This requires some effort when a new app must be added to the kiosk screen when multiple device groups are affected/involved. Suggestion: the possibility to define a list of kiosk menu items, only displaying items of type 'Launch://' when the package is present on the device.This way, we could configure the kiosk screen only once, and re-use this for all device groups
hey guys, we have a lot of devices enrolled in android plus. we use a kiosk (lockdown screen) to display approved apps, including email. my question is, is there a way for the user to protect his device with a pin code or pattern lock with soti? if so, in the event of the employee leaving the company and returning the device, is there a way for me to bypass or remove the pin through SOTI MobiControl? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I would like to create a shortcut that will launch in Chrome when using a Lockdown/Kiosk profile. Currently all URLs are launched using http:// and https:// and open in some sort of locked down Soti browser. We are using a Zebra TC56 devices and have enrolled them using Android Enterprise. Looking at previous threads with similar queries, a few others suggested using the 'Intent' command however we can't seem to get this to work. For example, we have attempted using this: Intent:http://www.google.co.uk#Intent;scheme=http;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;component=com.android.chrome;end When we attempt to launch the shortcut, nothing happens. Can you suggest any alternative options on how to achieve this? Thanks, Jamie
From the Console you can unlock a device from Kiosk Lockdown using the command "Notify Kiosk OFF" which allows you to unlock a device without having to enter the Admin Passcode from the device. The same command does not seem to have the same result when executed from a command script within a package. Is there any such command to unlock a device that is locked down from a package script?
Is it possible to add the phone number to the Android lockdown screen? Nothing is displayed when we add %PHONENUMBER% to the HTML template. MobiControl version is 14.1.Android 5 on Zebra TC75s.
Hi, we are using SOTI solution for customer facing kiosks with a web site displayed in Soti Surf in kiosk mode. Soti Surf must be in the foreground at all times displaying the web site. The issue that we are facing is that after re-assignment of our profile (includes Application Run Control, Feature Control, Soti surf settings and Lockdown), Soti Surf gets stuck with a screen showing the message "The administrator has made changes to the surf app's settings. Please launch the browser again" (see screenshot). This happens even if there are no changes to Soti Surf settings. The tablet is enclosed in a kiosk stand so there is no access to the controls of the device. Customers cannot use the kiosk until a technician connects remotely to the device and re-starts Soti Surf on every single device. Please, advise how we can solve this issue without manual intervention. Ideally this message will be bypassed or Soti Surf will restart automatically. The devices are Samsung android tablets running OS 5.0.2 (Lollipop). MobiControl version is 13.3.0.3217, the agent version is 13.3.2.1004 (ELM) and Soti Surf version is 14.1.1.1121. Thank you
I've been used to working with Lockdown via Android+ and allowing users to see and interact with the status bar. Enabling Kiosk mode on Android Enterprise I have lost the status bar completely- a plain black bar. I have created a separate profile with Feature Control added and the status bar is not disabled. We keep Lockdown (now Kiosk) profile separate to other security profile options so we can apply different lockdowns to different users but only have to manage one set of security rules. How do I get the status bar back and keep kiosk available.
