Hi Chris,

Thanks for the post!

Can you please confirm the MobiControl version you are in?

On the recent versions of MobiControl, you have the option to block the status bar in Lockdown Settings as shown below:

Please download the Settings manager app from https://docs.soti.net/soti-mobicontrol/settings-manager/release-notes/ and push its configurations on the same Lockdown profile, so the device user has access to WiFi connectivity settings and the device can scan for available WiFi networks.

Regards,

As Soti MobiControl uses standard html/css/javascript file to define lockdown/kiosk layout and functionalities, it is in principle possible to draw your own status bar/icon showing Wifi status, though some knowledge on web programming and Mobicontrol is needed.  For example, there are mechanism in Mobicontrol to report the Wifi SSID and RSSI level, which can be used to decide which icon, or the number of bars, to show in the status bar.  The icon images should of course be prepared by the programmer to fit the style (e.g. colour, size, position, spacing, etc.) of the graphical layout of his/her kisok design.

To RC's point the tools that you need to build something like this are absolutely there but they are complex and would require some coding expertise. Given that, I would recommend submitting this as an official feature request as I can understand the need. 

Some basic progamming skills on Html5/CSS are already enough to change layout related features in the kiosk just like any web-page.  However, how to make advanced and responsive interactions working in kiosk mode do need some tricks and deeper understanding about MobiControl, as the lockdown screen after all is not just any online web page.  Security, responsiveness and offline operation need to be considered.   I'm sorry that I am restricted from revealing too much details openly on a public forum due to business reasons.

Hi Chris,

Did you get a chance to perform any of the suggestions mentioned on your post?

If this post has helped you in solving your inquiry, I would request you to mark the particular comment as "is solution", so others may benefit from this information.

Regards,

Look s like i need to mark it as a feature request or information from SOTI on how to grab it.
