Hi Guys,

I just wanted to know if there is a setting when in kiosk mode to go to the home screen if there is no activity within an app?

Thanks in advance!

Hey, Thanks for reaching out to us.

If a web app has been added to the Kiosk mode, you can schedule the refresh such that the app gets reloaded to the home page after a specific period of inactivity.
Please navigate to Kiosk Lockdown-> Android Kiosk Lockdown-> Advanced Website Kiosk Settings-> Scheduled Refresh in the kiosk policy. You will be able to see the option to set the period of inactivity after which the web app should get reloaded. Enable the option and enter the desired time period. Associate targets and save the policy.

The feature is supported both on ‘Hexnode Kiosk Browser’ and ‘Hexnode Browser Lite’.

Wanna know more? Check out the Advanced Website Kiosk Settings.

Cheers!
