    App Icon Path for Lockdown

    Hey Guys, actually I'm developing a new lockdown Template which listens to json-Files on the Filesystem to show certain Apps in the lockdown or not. Everything is working so far, but I have to serve all the App-Icons to the device manually, even for installed applications.Does anyone knows how to target the App-Icon within the Lockdown as a path, e.g. /system/package/app1/appicon.png ?How does the SOTI-Magic works within the Lockdown? There are only Placeholders like <img src="<MCExeIcon4>" onerror="this.style.display='none'" /> but works as charme. How does the MCExeIcon4 get's converted to the App-Icon? Thank you!

    How to put necessary Android Activities in Lockdown

    Hey Guys, actually we need some Android Activities to be accessable within the Kiosk-Mode. e.g. for PTP (Picture Transfer Mode on USB Connection) So far we set this activity (com.android.settings/.deviceinfo.UsbModeChooserActivity) at position 1 in our Lockdown-Configuration And in our Template, App #1 is hidden, so the User can't see any link for this activity. It has just to be accessable but not visible: Now I have to grant access to a few more activities. The Question now: Can I write the Launch:// Command directly inside the Lockdown-Template so I dont have to add all these activities to the lockdown Config ? I already tried to change <MCLink0> to Launch://com.android.settings/.deviceinfo.UsbModeChooserActivity but this is not working. Maybe I have to exclude some special characters ?!? Did anyone of you solve this problem already ? Many Thanks!

    SOTI Kiosk Mode Turns Screen All White

    With our TC70x and TC72 devices, after some seemingly random amount of time ranging from a few hours to overnight, if the devices are not used then they will go white as pictured below. Tapping on the screen does nothing but if I click the Square button I get the Administrator and Refresh Buttons. If I click the Administrator button and type in the admin password, then I can access the device like normal, everything is fine. If I then switch the device back into User mode then the white screen comes back. So it is the kiosk mode itself but I am not sure how to prevent this.  Devices: TC70x and TC72 OS: Android 8.1.0 MobiControl: 13.7.5 Build 1013 Patching: Does this on a device with no LG patches and one with most recent

    Feature request: enhanced kiosk mode

    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

    Are they any other Mobicontrol actions possible to be used from the kiosk mode (Lockdown) ?

    From the Mobicontrol Online help, under the section "Android+ Device Lockdown" I realized that it is possible to create a link and give access to users for executing Mobicontrol action: - action:// - Executes a MobiControl action. To change the device password, use action://CHANGE_DEVICE_PASSWORD. To configure WiFi, use action://CONFIGURE_WIFI. is there any other action that can be used, I could not find any more information from the Online help.
