Tiles' set-up

ALLIANCE HEALTHCARE REPARTITION

Hello,

i'm creating my own tile, the issue i'm facing is that actually i cannot make it to be displayed because i used the following script:

writesecuresetting -sec sysui_qs_tiles wifi,bt,rotation,flashlight,location,nfc
 
that script allowed me to block some tiles for the user not to make mistakes
 
How can i get rid of that former setup?
How can I add my own tile?
 
Thanks
 
regards

Please share from where or from whom you get such the script command

    writesecuresetting -sec sysui_qs_tiles wifi,bt,rotation,flashlight,location,nfc

?
 
 
Based on what you think the command should work?  On what device brand or model(s) and what firmware version and enrollment mode?

Hi raymond,

here the topic i was working from

https://discussions.soti.net/thread/android-plus-how-to-disable-swipe-down-to-see-notifictions-wifi-blutooth-etc/

and I do confirm that it reuns smoothly on my EDA50 Honeywell

Thing is that now i need to implement a new tile and i cannot come back to the default set-up

OR

i can be helped in telling me how the functionality in YES/No question could be back on soti V15 for script located onto the lockdown

as this functionality is not available for Adnroid Entreprise Agent

Thanks!!

Is your EDA50 Honeywell running legacy Honeywell Android+ device agent? Or generic Android-Enterprise device agent?

What Android version is the firmware?

Android is 7.1.1

The agent is as the following picture

It's legacy Android+ running Android 7x.  So, the arguments supported by the script command are determined by the OEM vendor,  (Honeywell in your case), and can vary with device models and firmware versions.   Maybe you should contact Honeywell technical support to see if they have any relevant information related to the device model and firmware version relevant to your case.

I don't think Soti currently support configuration of the tiles as standard features in its agents.  However,  Google added new API's in Accessibility Service to allow any ordinary apps to customize tiles on Android 7.0 or later devices.  So, it should be possible for you or any programmer to develop customized app to configure tiles according to your need.

Sorry raymond for the delay

Honeywelle isn't able to provide the thing i'm looking for, i tried several ways to solve my issue and i'm stuck

questions:

Can you confirm that with the other agent from Soti i would be able to implement the yes/no question?

With this agent can I use if no the question above use javascript?

also and finally how to get this agent instead of mine?

Thanks a lot, you're my last chance

I am sorry I don't quite understand your problem when you switch topics from configuration of tiles to some kind of yes/no question.

Javascript does support conditional constructs, but what exactly do you want to control and what information is used to control the conditional flow in your case?

Please provide more details.

Yes indeed quite blur issue

i integrated a script onto my lockdown, this one used to work with a security question for not being launched unsafely.

we upgraded our soti MC version to 15.3 and now the javascript code doesn't work anymore, that means that the script could launched when the device is in the hands...

i looked for a solution and tried to add the yes/no question in my script but it's not OK due to my agent,that's why i thought that building a tile could be a way to prevent the script from being launched not intentionally

and i'm stuck there

hope i'm clear enough

thx

So you have built some javascript codes in your kiosk html/CSS file to implement some kind of password/security-question test before proceeding to perform some sensitive operation(s).

As HTML/CSS/javascript languages, though somehow standardised, still have lots of different enhancements in different rendering engine, it is possible that the javascript codes that works in previous kiosk rendering engine within an older agent do not work any more in another rendering engine in an upgraded agent.   This is similar to cases where some complex web pages work fine in Chrome browser, but fail on IE or firefox.  It's hard to tell what's wrong without seeing all the html/CSS/javascript codes, which your company security policy may not allow you to disclose in an open forum.

Besides, as I am not from Soti, and my company will charge customers for debugging their complex html/CSS/javascript codes,  I am unlikely to provide much help freely on this open forum for this topic.   As a Soti customer, maybe you should  open an official support case at support@soti.net and possibly send them the codes to see if they can help you for free.

Regarding Tiles API for Android 7+, there are lots of free online documentation you can follow to build a small custom app to customize some tiles in the status/notification bar.   This of course requires expertises in various fields.   

I have plans to build one or more paid B2B utility apps that provide many tens of features to complement and further enhance MDM/EMM/UEM solutions including Soti MobiControl.  Many hidden powers of Soti MobiControl will hopefully become accessible to implement policies not imaginable by ordinary MobiControl administrators in the past.   Support for remote configuration of tiles is on the list of features, but the actual feature list and availability date depends on further marketing research and manpower respectively.  It will likely be available in 2022H2 at the earliest, and possibily initially for my corporate/governmental customers first, and then extended to cover any comporate customer global in a later phase.  Let's see if such apps can help you if you still can't a good enough solution by that time.
