Web Kiosk Mode

Web Kiosk Mode in the Quantem Console allows admins to lock a managed device to display and run a specific web application (URL) as the kiosk experience. A Web App in this context is essentially a website or web-based tool that behaves like a native app on the device — when the user taps the web app icon, it opens the configured URL directly. This is ideal for devices that need to display a web portal, dashboard, form, or any browser-based tool in a locked kiosk environment.

Setting up a Web Kiosk involves two main stages:

1. Whitelisting the Web App in the App Catalog via the Google iframe

2. Assigning the Web App to a Kiosk profile and deploying it to a device or group

Part A – Whitelist the Web App in the App Catalog

Step 1: Navigate to App Catalog

1. Log in to the Quantem Console

2. From the left navigation, click on Application

3. Click on App Catalog

Step 2: Open Add App
On the top-right side of the App Catalog page, click on Add App.

Step 3: Select Platform and App Source
A pop-up will appear. Select the following:

• Platform: Android

• App Source: Google Play Store

Click to proceed. The Google-managed iframe will open within the console.

Step 4: Navigate to Web Apps in the iframe
Inside the Google iframe:

• On the left-hand side, locate and click on Web Apps

• A list of existing web apps (if any) will be displayed

Step 5: Create a New Web App

• Click the + (Plus) icon at the bottom of the Web Apps section

• A web app creation form will appear. Fill in the following fields:
  
  
  

Step 6: Create the Web App
Click Create. The web app will be:

• Created under your organization's Managed Google Play account

• Automatically whitelisted and added to the App Catalog in the Quantem Console

• Available for selection in Kiosk profiles and policy assignments

Part B – Assign the Web App to a Kiosk Profile

Step 7: Navigate to Kiosk
From the left-hand navigation, click on Kiosk.

Step 8: Create a New Kiosk or Edit Existing

• Create New Kiosk — Click Create Kiosk to set up a new kiosk profile

• Edit Existing Kiosk — Click the three-dot menu ( ⋮ ) on an existing kiosk row and select View/Edit Details

Step 9: Enter Kiosk Details

Step 10: Add the Web App

• Click Add in the app selection screen

• From the App Catalog list, locate and select the web app that was whitelisted in Part A

• Click Add to confirm

Step 11: Set the Kiosk System Launcher

• Select the same web app as the Kiosk System Launcher

• This ensures the device boots directly into the web app URL upon startup

Step 12: Review and Submit

• Click Next to review the kiosk configuration

• Verify the web app and launcher settings are correct

• Click Submit to save the kiosk profile

Step 13: Assign the Kiosk Profile
Assign the saved kiosk profile to the target device or group:

• Assign to a Device — Navigate to Manage > Device, select the device, and assign the kiosk profile

• Assign to a Group — Navigate to Manage > Group, select the kiosk group, and assign the kiosk profile. All devices in the group will receive the web kiosk configuration
