Configure Personalized Lock Screen using Live Activities

NOTE: Applies to iOS devices only.

Administrators are able to add Locker Custom Options to their iOS Workflows to automatically add the Device User name to the device Lock Screen.

  • This is the preferred method of configuring the device Lock Screen to display the user name, instead of the Set Wallpaper workflow action.

  • After configuring this feature, users will see the change in Locker behavior after the next checkin and checkout.

Supported iOS Workflow Models

  • iOS Express Checkout

  • DEP

  • non-DEP

Behavior

  • At checkout, the user is prompted to allow Live Activities on the device. Live Activities launches Imprivata Locker.

    NOTE:

    If the user taps Don't allow at the Live Activities prompt, the feature will not work and the user will not be prompted to re-enable or allow. This is a one-time prompt; it will not appear at each checkout.

    Live Activities can be re-enabled in Settings.

  • The lock screen of the checked out device displays the Device User name.

  • When the user returns the device, the Check In Workflow is run, clearing the Live Activities is from the device.

  • If the user swipes left on the Live Activity from the lock screen and dismisses the Live Activity, opening Imprivata Locker re-initiates Live Activity the next time the device locks.

  • Tapping the Live Activity opens the Imprivata Locker app.
