HeysanWe have seen one of our clients, also using Soti MobiControl, have added buttons to the lockdown screen. When they press the button, a new page with new buttons or apps opens up. If the press back, it goes back to the main page. Have anyone here had success adding subpages to the lockdown screen, that opens when you press a button on the screen or anything similar? We have a client who could benefit from such a solution. On the main screen they have a standard lockdown profile from the standard template. They have 9 apps but would like a button to access a manuals page, where we add links to open pdfs on the device directly. (using the file command)We don't allow them access to the file manager on the device, which btw is a Zebra TC26.
Hello, We want to use a tablet in our stores. We do this by using Mobicontrol and the lockdown function.Previously we had a problem opening PDF files downloaded from the default website we set.To solve this, we used Soti Surf and set it up completely to your liking so that the PDF files could simply be opened in the browser.Because administrative actions have to be done on the tablet and a physical keyboard was required, we switched from a Samsung to a Lenovo P11 PRO tablet.This is the moment when our big problems started.However, the linked keyboard from Lenovo starts a 'Productivity mode' where Soti Surf is started in a small window and can no longer be used fullscreen.Unfortunately, this mode cannot be disabled, which is also confirmed by Lenovo.Soti Surf can therefore no longer be used and with that we have to rely on the 'https: //' function to be able to start a browser fullscreen in a kiosk mode.Here we only run into the PDF problem for which we previously switched to Soti Surf.As soon as you try to open a PDF file in the browser, you will see that the screen flashes white for a moment and then nothing opens. Like if it is blocked some how.We can confirm that the PDF is being downloaded, but it will not be opened.We've tried a lot but we just can't figure out how to fix this. Hence the call for help here!Does anyone have any idea how we can fix this?If we cannot solve this, we will have to switch to another tablet that is also considerably more expensive.Surely there must be a solution for this? Thanks in advance. Greeting, Sander SinkeldamNelson Schoenen BV Mobicontrol version: 15.2.3.1033 Android Agent: 14.4.6.1001
So the general idea of this is that a group of people will publish PDF documents (Right now they just put them on a shared company network drive). Users on the floor using our Android devices will be able to scan a QR Code at a station which will bring up one of the PDF documents. The issues I am running into are: Best way to publish these PDF Documents to be accessed by Android Devices Best way to Scan and open these PDF documents on the Android Device I already have this working but I feel like it can work better. Currently users just update PDF documents on their PC's that are stored in a shared network folder. That file server has FTP turned on so then I create a QR Code FTP link (ftp://username:password@server/test.pdf). On the Android device they open Chrome and scan the QR code into the address bar. The PDF downloads and they have to pull down the notification bar to open and view the PDF. Using a Windows 10 tablet, I like how I can just use Chrome and scan a link (file://servername/path/tofile/test.pdf) and it will preview the file without downloading it. If someone has done this or knows a way to do this kind of thing on Android I would love to hear how. Thanks!
