Enhancements in Kiosk Launcher UI for ease of access to Kiosk Settings

Release Notes


Abstract

MaaS360 introduced a separate screen for the "Kiosk Settings" option, which is moved out of "Corporate Settings" and is now available in Settings. This allows users to enable Kiosks from the device even though the device is selectively wiped.

Content

Previously, the corporate settings were removed from the device when a device was selectively wiped due to being out of compliance. The enable Kiosk option is inside corporate settings, so the user cannot enable it to resolve the device's out-of-compliance. 

In this release, to resolve this, MaaS360 introduces a separate screen for the Kiosk Settings option, which is moved out of corporate settings and is now available in Settings. This allows users to enable Kiosks from the device even though the device is selectively wiped.

In addition, Kiosk mode gets a redesigned user interface for improved accessibility, emphasizing cleaner and simpler design for easy access to Kiosk Settings. It helps users apply the rules when the device is not in Kiosk mode and is out of compliance.

The Kiosk Setting option is displayed on the Kiosk Launcher settings.

Kiosk Setting option

Users can Enable the Kiosk mode and view the status with details from the Kiosk settings.

In addition, detailed status and associated information are displayed below the status indicator in the Kiosk Settings. This helps the user understand the Kiosk status and related information.
