For instance, the Package ID (Bundle Identifier) for Google Maps is com.android.apps.maps. The package will automatically be prefixed with the Launch:// URI. If you want to navigate to a web page, enter the URL, for example http://www.Company.com.

Launch:// Launches an application, maintaining the state from the last time it was launched. In Android Plus, the launcher application is excluded from Recents.

launchenablesystem:// - Tries to enable com.sec.android.app.launcher. If successful, the same action as launch:// is performed.

Movie:// - Allows videos to be played on the lockdown. Same as file://.

refresh:// - Refreshes the kiosk webview. This does not need a scheme-specific part.

script:// - Executes a given SOTI MobiControl script file.

setlocale:// - Sets device locale. For example, setlocale://en_us.

shared-device:// - Shows shared device activity used for both login and logout of a shared device. See Sharing Devices for more information.

surf:// - Opens a webpage in the SOTI Surf secure browser. The SOTI Surf app must be installed on the device and configured with a SOTI Surf profile configuration.

Nothing - Same as file:// but rooted in the kiosk data folder. For example, foo becomes file://%kioskdata%/foo.

Everything Else - Same as intent://. Is sent to the application that is listening for the specified scheme. For example, foo://#action=bar becomes intent://foo://#action=bar.
Use Custom Image (Optional) Enable the toggle to select the file name of the image to be displayed for this lockdown menu item. The image will be automatically delivered to the device with the lockdown configuration. Select an image file from the list or click Browse File to select an image file from your local file system.

To display this image in the lockdown menu, include the <MCDispImgN> tag in the HTML template. See Customizing Lockdown Menu Templates for more information.

Note: If you want to replace an image that was previously imported, upload a new image file while maintaining the same name as the old image file. You will be asked to confirm the overwriting of the old image file. Click Yes to display the new image.
Launch Automatically on Start-up When this option is enabled, the program that is associated with this menu item will be automatically executed on startup (that is, after a soft reset, or a restart of the lockdown process).
Enable Single App Mode When this option is enabled, the device will launch directly into the app, and device functionality will be limited to that application. Only one menu item within the profile configuration may have Single App Mode enabled.
Note: To use this option, enable the Launch automatically on start-up option .
