Package Name or Script File or URL Select an intent from the menu:

Custom enables you to write your own custom intent.

action:// - Executes a SOTI MobiControl action. To change the device password, use action://CHANGE_DEVICE_PASSWORD. To configure WiFi, use action://CONFIGURE_WIFI.

browser:// - Opens a webpage in the default browser using HTTP.

browsers:// - Opens a webpage in the default browser using HTTPS.

dial:// - Opens the default dialer with a specified number (e.g., dial://5555555555).

file:// - Opens non-HTML files on the device using its default browser (e.g. file:///%sdcard%content/document.pdf).

http:// - Opens a webpage in the kiosk webview using HTTP.

https:// - Opens a webpage in the kiosk webview using HTTPS.

intentaction:// - Sends an intent with the given action.

intent: - Sends an intent given a standard intent URI.(e.g.intent:#Intent;action=net.soti.mobicontrol.admin.PASSWORD_DIALOG;i.dialog_type=1;end ) See Intent at Android Developers Reference for more information.

Launchalways:// - Launches application in a completely fresh state. Added to reflect legacy (pre-v10) launch:// behavior. It excludes this application from Recents when launched. See Intent at Android Developers Reference for more information.

launchalwayswithRecents:// - Deprecated. Use launch withRecents://instead.

launch:// Launches an application, maintaining the state from the last time it launched. It also removes the launcher applications from Recents for Android Plus devices.

launchenablesystem:// - Tries to enable com.sec.android.app.launcher. It performs the same action as launch:// if successful.

launchwithRecents://Launches an application, maintaining the state from the last time it launched. The launch application appears in Recents and is not killed if already in Recents.

movie:// - Enable videos to play on the lockdown. Same as file://.

refresh:// - Refreshes the kiosk web view. 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. Sharing Devices.

surf:// - Opens a web page in the SOTI Surf secure browser. You must install the SOTI Surf app on the device and configure it 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://. 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 you want displayed for this lockdown menu item. The image automatically delivers to the device with the lockdown configuration. Select an image file from the list or select Browse File to select an image file from your local file system.

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

Note: If you want to replace a previously imported image, upload a new image file while maintaining the same name as the old one. Confirm the overwriting of the old image file. Select Yes, and the new image displays.
Launch Automatically on Start-up When enabled, the program associated with this menu item automatically executes on start-up (that is, after a soft reset, or a restart of the lockdown process).
Enable Single App Mode When enabled, the device launches directly into the app, and device functionality limits to that application. Only one menu item within the profile configuration may have Single App Mode enabled.
Note: Enable Launch automatically on start-up to use this option.
