Hey folks,
I’m trying to modify kiosks for android devices. I need to place all the inventory-based apps on a page and the apps for personnel management on another page.
The apps should be positioned well-organized. However, it is mandatory that any user does not change the ordering. Since the devices are already in kiosk, I’m not sure if they can be re-arranged now.
Is there any way I can get this done from Hexnode portal?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Natalie,
A pleasure to be of help!
It would be nice to have the apps arranged automatically on kiosk-enabled devices. Hexnode offers numerous settings to customize the kiosk experience for users.
In your case, I would recommend ‘Advanced View’ settings for the multi-app kiosk lockdown of Android devices. Typically, Advanced View is used to deliver a consistent experience for the users. It is a user-friendly approach to creating a multi-app kiosk mode that enables easy customization of how apps appear on the screen. You can designate positions for each app, confirm how the apps are placed for various screen orientations, specify the icon size, and much more.
Understanding that the devices are already in multi-app kiosk mode, you may review the existing policy with Advanced View.
While customizing the home screen, you can add more apps to the kiosk one after the other. The Grid view arrangement outlines the positioning of apps across the device screen in various orientations and device models. Seeing that you need to arrange a specific set of apps together on a page, click on + icon to add more pages. Further, you may include the necessary applications in the consecutive pages.
Once the policy is re-associated with the device, the changes will be reflected across the devices automatically. The users will no longer be able to organize the apps as per their needs.

Perfect! It Worked.
This is frustrating! I just checked this out. But for me it shows nothing but 2 or 3 apps filed up on the first page. Not all applications appear on the device.
No worries! We’re here to help..
Could you please tell me what kind of apps is added to the kiosk? Is it the store app or any in-house app?
Feel free to contact us always!
They’re all store apps.
Thanks for confirming about it!
When you add store apps in kiosk mode make sure the app is already installed on the device.
To help you with that, you’ll have to exit the kiosk mode of the device. You can quickly get it done by executing the remote action ‘Disable Kiosk Mode’.
The device(s) exits from the kiosk. Meanwhile, install the store apps on the devices. Finally, you can re-push kiosk with the devices by executing the action ‘Enable Kiosk Mode’.

I hope it helps you!
Oh wow! Thank you.
