Configure Personalized Lock Screen using Live Activities – iOS

Created: Checkout

NOTE: Applies to iOS devices only.

NOTE: Available for 7.0 User Acceptance Test (UAT)

Administrators are able to add Locker Custom Options to their iOS Workflows to automatically add the Device User name to the Locker lock screen.

  • Beginning with Mobile Access Management 7.0, this is the preferred method of configuring the Imprivata Locker lock screen to display the user name on iOS 18 and later devices, instead of the Set Wallpaper workflow action. You can still set a wallpaper image using the Set Wallpaper action.
  • Applies to the iOS Express Checkout, DEP, and non-DEP workflow models.
Behavior
  • At checkout, the user is prompted to allow Live Activities on the device. Live Activities launches Imprivata Locker.
    NOTE: If the user dismissed the Live Activities prompt, the feature will not work and the user will not be prompted to re-enable or allow.
  • The lock screen of the checked out device will display the Device User.
  • When the user returns the device, the Check In workflow is run and Live Activities is cleared from the device.
Requirements

Take note of the following prerequisites:

  • Requires that your MAM organization be enabled for Check Out.
  • Requires iOS devices running iOS 18 and later.
  • Requires Imprivata Locker for iOS 4.0 or later.
