Managing multiple Android devices in your organization often involves adjusting display settings in Kiosk Mode. This task, essential for ensuring an optimal user experience and conforming to specific application requirements, can be challenging and time-consuming when done manually on each device. AirDroid Business provides a solution that simplifies this process.

In this article, we'll guide you step-by-step on how to adjust display settings in Kiosk Mode with AirDroid Business.

Step 1
Access the "Display" Section for Kiosk Mode
Go to Admin Console > Policy & Kiosk > Policy & Kiosk Config Files. Click on the Arrow icon on your existing Config File > Edit.
If you have not created a Config File, click + Create Config File instead.
Next, click on Device Limitation > Display. You can see the "Display" section. This is where you can adjust the display settings in Kiosk mode.

Step 2
Adjust Screen Timeout
Screen Timeout
The "Screen Timeout" setting allows you to either keep the device awake or set a specific duration of inactive time before the screen goes to sleep.
Click the arrow and choose your preferred duration from the drop-down box.

Step 3
Manage Screen Brightness
Allow users to change the screen brightness
You have the option to allow or disallow users to change the screen brightness from the notification center.
● To allow users to change the screen brightness from the notification center, please turn on this option.

● To disallow users to change the screen brightness from the notification center, please turn off this option.

Set the device screen brightness
● To set the device screen to a fixed brightness, please turn on this option, and then adjust the brightness level using the slider that appears below.

● Not to set the device screen to a fixed brightness, please turn off this option.

Step 4
Set Display Orientation (Tablets only)
If your devices are tablets and you require a fixed display orientation across all devices, you can configure this setting.
Check Screen size to detect Tablet form-factor
This feature, when enabled, checks the device's screen dimensions (width and height) to determine if it's a tablet and subsequently enables orientation-related features.
● To activate this feature, please turn on the button of this option.

● If you do not need to detect the tablet form-factor, simply turn off the button of this option.

Note : This may cause some large-screen Phone/Phablets to be detected as a tablet and start supporting orientation.

Lock display orientation (Tablets only)
This option will allow you to lock your device screen in either landscape or portrait mode.
You can select your preferred display orientation from the drop-down box.

Note : Please note that the rotation button in the notification center will be invalid after lockdown.

Step 5
Save and Apply the Settings
After setting up this Kiosk File, click the "Save" button on the top right corner. (When you create this file for the first time, you will need to fill in the file name and remarks.)
Next, select the Kiosk File you just created or edited. Find the [Apply Config File to the following devices/groups] and click [+Add]. Choose the devices or groups to which you want to apply the kiosk settings to and confirm.
When the status in the list turns to "Applied successfully", it means the kiosk settings have been successfully applied to the target devices.

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage and adjust the display settings on all your Android devices in Kiosk Mode using AirDroid Business. This ensures a consistent and optimal user experience across all devices.
