-__NB. If your company has its own in-house Android app, the app must be declared a Home Screen App in the manifest. The development team would typically override the back key functionality so the user cannot exit the app. A good idea is to use kiosk mode in conjunction with sealed mode (from the connectivity -> main tab). Sealed mode disables the notification bar at the top of the screen (where the time, battery strength and notification icons are placed) as the settings app can be opened from the notification bar and potentially mobile users could change settings via this route.__+__NB.

 +If sealed mode is required in conjunction with kiosk mode, please apply the seal mode first, the place the device into a kiosk. 
 +To revert this functionality,​ take the phone out of kiosk first, then set sealed mode as OFF. Turning sealed mode OFF whilst still in kiosk mode will NOT work.

 +This button gets all apps on the device that are Home Screen apps. A home screen app is capable of being a standalone app and would be used as the only app on the device. Typically, once a home screen app has been applied to the device, from the device user's point of view, the app is the only app on the phone and there is no way of navigating away from it, even if the device is rebooted.

 +**__Apply Home Screen App__** 
 + 
 + 
 +This will set the selected Home Screen app on the device. 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 +**__Disable Kiosk Mode__** 
 + 
 + 
 +This will take the device out of Kiosk mode and render the home screen app inactive. The device will behave as normal again.
