Deploy kiosk policies to GX displays

A kiosk is a device with limited user control, such as information terminals in shopping malls and other public places. You can create policies for kiosks in SMART Remote Management that do the following:

• Set allowed apps for kiosks

• Specify which allowed app is the launcher app (in other words, the app that appears when users first interact with kiosks)

• Set allowed and blocked websites for kiosks

• Set a wallpaper (background) for kiosks

You can deploy a kiosk policy to a single device, all devices that match a saved filter’s criteria, or a group. Alternatively, you can use a trigger to deploy a kiosk policy at a scheduled time or when a specific event takes place.
