Lenovo M10 Android Tablet
If you are using a Lenovo M10 Tablet, you can use a feature called "kiosk Mode" or "App Pinning". This keeps the CycleMasters app running in the foreground and allows you to set the tablet so that users only have access to the app and cannot navigate to other apps or settings.
Here are the steps to set this up:
1. Setting up Kiosk Mode:
- Go to Settings on your Lenovo M10 tablet.
- Look for Security.
- Look for Screen Pinning and enable it.
2. App Pinning:
- Open the CycleMasters app.
- Press the Recent apps button (square) to display all opened apps.
- Tap the icon of the CycleMasters app and select Pin.
3. Restricted Profiles:
- Go to Settings > Accounts > Multiple Users.
- Tap on New user or profile and select Restricted profile.
- Enable only the CycleMasters app for this profile.
With these settings, the CycleMasters app will always remain in the foreground and users cannot navigate to other apps or settings.
iPads
To set up single app mode and keep the CycleMasters app running in the foreground on your iPad, you need a Mac with the Apple Configurator app, and an iPhone or iPad that you want to use in kiosk mode. The single app mode automatically opens the CycleMasters app and prevents the use of other apps.
Enabling kiosk mode on iPad
You can enable the kiosk mode or single app mode as follows:
- Connect the iPhone or iPad to the Mac using a USB cable. You can connect multiple iPhones and iPads at the same time if your Mac has enough ports.
- Click on the iOS device for which you want to enable single app mode.
- Select Tasks > Advanced > Start single app mode. Or: hold down the Control key, click on the selected devices, and then choose Advanced > Start single app mode.
- Select the CycleMasters app that is allowed to be used. Click on Options to see more possibilities.
- Select the desired options, click on Apply > Select app.
