You can just add it as a script to the template and assign this script to a button.

We use that to create a configurator lockjown screen creating an ini file as an enrollment step.

Thanks, I'm not sure about syntax to call function through the button. Could you checking for example as below was correct ?

<button onclick="MyFunction()">MyButton</button>

<script type="text/javascript">
function MyFunction(){
		mobicontrol.agent.enterAdminMode();
		setTimeout(function() {
  			const ACTION_CALL = "android.intent.action.CALL";
			const URI_CALL_NUMBER = "tel:*933%23";
				var intent = mobicontrol.android.createIntent()
    				.withAction(ACTION_CALL)
    				.withData(URI_CALL_NUMBER);
		mobicontrol.android.startActivity(intent);
		},5000);
		mobicontrol.agent.enterUserMode();
	}
</script>

We use the submit functionality as we have a form to fill out before and I'm not too good in HTML and JS but here are some parts of it.

Sorry for the screenshot but if i try to use the coding here i always get errors and not able to post them.

  1. Put the script in a *.cmd file
  2. Add the following at the top of the script to declare that it is a javascript based script
    • #!/usr/bin/env js
       
  3. Deliver the *.cmd file to the device (eg. Package, File Sync)
  4. Reference the *.cmd in your lockdown via a Custom action and then script:///sdcard/<yourscript>.cmd
  5. Add an icon and name for your lockdown item
  6. (optional) If using Native mode lockdown you'll also need to whitelist any of the activities that your script might be running.

As Matt said above, this is the easiest way I think to perform the task you mentioned, and it is also well used and tested.
