The following settings can be used to lock your device to stop people from closing Dash and accessing other apps. When enabled, users will have to enter a pin code before they can close Dash.
Guided Access is an optional feature on your device that restricts users to using only a single application. It can be used to prevent users from closing Dash (for example if your meeting room screen is in a public place)
To learn more about Guided access and how to enable it for your device, visit the Apple support page on the topic. Once you have set up Guided Access, open Dash and activate Guided Access by triple clicking the home button of your device (or the side button if your device does not have a home button) and tapping Start.
You may also wish to disable the sleep/wake button of your device. To do this, triple click the home button to activate Guided Access and then tap Options and disable the sleep/wake button before tapping Start.
