Site Lock

Site Lock allows the teacher to automatically launch Safari on selected devices, restrict Safari to one or more sites, and prevent Safari from being exited, thus locking students into the site(s) until released.

To use Site Lock, select one or more iPads and click the "Site Lock" button. A pop-up window will be displayed with options for choosing one or more web sites.

You can use the search bar to search for a specific link or use the "My web links only" to filter the links/link collections that you added in Content > Web links section.

The Manual Entry tab lets you quickly hand enter a website without the need to have it preconfigured as a web link. The URL is required, but the site name is optional. If the site name is left blank, the URL will be used for the name and will appear in as the name in Safari's "Allowed Sites" list.

You can save the link directly as a new web link so it can be remembered for the next time you use this feature. You also have the option to auto release after the specified duration.

Click the Site lock button at the bottom of the window to activate your choices. In the MDM interface, devices that are in Site Lock mode will display the lock icon.

Students can access the selected site(s) by going to the bookmark list in Safari and selecting "Allowed Sites" or use the Securly Locker app to view the links. All other sites will be blocked with the message "Restricted Site".

To end Site Lock select one or more devices and use the Release button. Select one or more iPads and click the Release Lock button*.
