Administration (for AppLock)

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administration

AppLock is designed to be run on Windows CE based devices only.

Introduction

Configuration parameters are specified by the AppLock Administrator for the MX7 end-user. AppLock is password protected by the Administrator.

End-user mode locks the end-user into the configured application or applications. The end user can still reboot the mobile device and respond to dialog boxes. The administrator-specified applications are automatically launched in the specified order and run in full screen mode when the device boots up.

When the mobile device is reset to factory default values, for example after a cold reset, the Administrator may need to reconfigure the AppLock parameters.

The assumption, in this section, is that the first user to power up a new mobile device is the system administrator.

Note:

AppLock Administrator Control panel file Launch option does not inter-relate with similarly-named options contained in

 

other MX7 Control Panels.

Note:

A few applications do not follow normal procedures when closing. AppLock cannot prevent this type of application

 

from closing, but is notified that the application has closed. For these applications, AppLock immediately restarts the

 

application (see Auto Re-Launch) which causes the screen to flicker. If this type of application is being locked, the

 

administrator should close all other applications before switching to end-user mode to minimize the screen flicker.

AppLock is updated periodically as new options become available. Contact Technical Assistance for assistance, downloads and update availability.
