Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I want to disable the option for users to change settings or even exit the app on a specific device. I am constantly having to reset devices because someone has fiddled with the settings or exited the app.

Describe the solution you'd like At the very least, the option to disable the settings button on a particular instance of the app would make a big difference. A more advanced feature would be the option to run the device in a Kiosk mode with all interaction disabled and the Dakboard the only app that can be run.

Describe alternatives you've considered I'm currently trying to combine Dakboard with other kiosk apps and they seem to work but it does mean multiple apps and I still can't disable the settings.

Additional context I would think that there is some market for you in the Kiosk area. I know you have your own hardware but being able to deeply to lightweight tablets would be attractive to your customers.

Thank you for taking the time to make suggestions to DAKboard, the majority of new features are developed from feedback from the community like yours. At the moment we are interested in making this a future enhancement in DAKboard but do not have any timelines associated with this request yet at this time. We will be converting this request in the meantime to a Discussion for the purpose of gathering more understanding interest there is in the client base to gauge priority.
