Are you concerned about visitors accidentally exiting The Receptionist app and running willy-nilly through your device? Guided Access is an iPad feature that uses a passcode to lock your iPad into a single app, ensuring that visitors can't close The Receptionist app.
Turning on Guided Access
Go to Settings > Accessibility, then turn on Guided Access.
Tap Passcode Settings, then tap Set Guided Access Passcode. Make sure to record the passcode somewhere secure; The Receptionist has no access to that data, and if it's lost, we will not be able to assist.
Enter a passcode, then re-enter it. From here, you can also turn on Face ID or Touch ID to end a Guided Access session.
Make sure to set your auto-lock settings to "never."
Then, open The Receptionist app and triple-click the Home (or equivalent) button to begin your Guided Access session.
Autonomous Single-App Modes
The Receptionist can additionally support autonomous single-app modes (such as JAMF, PRO, MDM, or ASAM). Press and hold the top middle of the screen for a few seconds to get to the secret settings menu:
Within that area, you'll see a button titled "Guided Access." Tapping on it will enable ASAM.
