How do I enable single app mode on my iPad?

Single App Mode is a feature on iOS devices, where they are locked down to a single application. We can also disable various capabilities of the device such as touch screen, zoom, side buttons and so on. Single App Mode can only be enabled on supervised devices that are enrolled in a UEM.  

The app to be launched should be installed and on the device, and there should be an available internet connection. For unmanaged devices, you can enable the single app kiosk mode manually by using Apple Configurator 2.
