Setting up Guided Access limits your device to a single app and is useful way to encourage SecurePass use.
What is Guided Access?
As HealthSafe moves away from the previous Kiosk Mode process of locking on the SecurePass Screen. We are transitioning towards a self-service approach of Guided Access.
Guided Access works like Kiosk Mode within SecurePass, locking your device to a single application to encourage SecurePass use. However, it has the added benefit of being self-serviced and does not require any assistance from the HealthSafe team to be set up.
Enabling Guided Access
Before you begin this process, please ensure that your iPad case key is close at hand. This will be needed to unlock the physical case housing your device.
Important: Please do not lose the case keys that have been provided!
- Open Settings >> Search Guided Access or Click Accessibility and then Guided Access. It is located under General.
- Click Guided Access so that a green slide appears.
- Click PassCode Settings and select Set Guided Access Passcode
- Create your Passcode that will be used to disable Kiosk Mode. (Make sure that it is an easy number to remember)
Note: As Guided Access is self-managed, HealthSafe will NOT know what your Guided Access Passcode will be.
- Go back to your SecurePass Sign-In Screen and then depending on your iPad model. Press the home or power button 3 times.
- Depending on your iPad type, a message may appear that “Guided Access has now started” or an additional window.
Your SecurePass Sign-In and Sign-Out screen will already be presented when you access the SecurePass Kiosk App. This image showcases the flow of enabling Guided Access.
