IdeaLayer Engine can be configured to automatically run any of its included apps by default, bypassing the main menu. This function is especially useful if you only plan to use specific app(s) on your Engine device, or wish to restrict users from changing apps (e.g. for kiosk use).
Edit your Engine configuration and search for the parameter called DEFAULT_APP. If this parameter is present but commented out, then remove the comment and set the value. If the parameter is not present, then add the following entry to the configuration file:
DEFAULT_APP = Collaborate.capp
The above example will launch the Collaborate application at startup. The name of the .capp folder can be replaced with other app folders that are installed on the device (found in C:\ProgramData\IdeaLayer Engine\Apps)
If you wish to prevent users from exiting/terminating Engine, you can set the following options.
USER_BARS_EXIT_CRUISER = 0 EXPLORE_MENU_EXIT_CRUISER = 0
If you wish to prevent the user from changing apps but still want to allow exiting to the windows desktop then use the following options.
USER_BARS_SWITCH_APP = 0 EXPLORE_MENU_SWITCH_APP = 0 USER_BARS_EXIT_CRUISER = 1 EXPLORE_MENU_EXIT_CRUISER = 1
