Kiosk Mode

  • 1.  Kiosk Mode

    Posted Thu January 08, 2026 08:16 AM

    I am a very basic user of Maas360, just using it for our drivers and limiting app access 
    No groups or anything, just users using the same set of apps.

    I would like to add a tablet to my account and lock it to kiosk mode, allowing it to access only a Google Form. 

    Does anyone have a guide or anything to walk me through the process?
    I don't want to affect the existing non-grouped users or devices

    Hey,

    so what you are looking for here is Single App kiosk mode. On your Android policy under the Kiosk section select edit and then set the mode to Single app

    Enter the app id for you Google form and then save and publish the policy.

    Thanks Eamonn

    The only issue I have is that the Google Form ID in the URL does not seem to work

    I figured it out 
    I had to allow Chrome in polices > Browser, then block all sites with (*) and allow the Google Form with its URL

    Thanks for the help Eamonn 🙂
