How to Setup Locked-Down Kiosk Usage in LEAF OS version 5.2 and higher with the Workspace Concept?
Starting with LEAF OS version 5.2, the new LEAF OS workspace enhances productivity by enabling easy launching, multitasking, and toggling between different applications.
In this case, how can an admin lock down LEAF OS to provide kiosk-only usage (i.e., single operation mode and no access to other applications)?
Customers who prefer to configure the device as a locked-down kiosk (with no icons shown on the Desktop, Start Menu, or App Launcher, and with Auto-Launch enabled) should follow these steps:
Go to Settings > Applications, select the desired application, and click the Edit icon. Then, deselect the options for Show on App Launcher, Show on Start Menu, and Show Desktop icon. Select Auto-launch and choose Restart as the Action on exit.
