Single App Mode - Safari - To a Certain URL

Does anyone know of a way to have Safari open to a certain web page and run in Single-App Mode?  I can setup an iPad with Safari in Single App Mode and use the Content Filter to only allow the URL of the site the Kiosk will be used for, but I still have to click on the Icon for that Page when Safari first opens up.  Looking for a way to have that site open automatically when Safari opens in Single-App mode.

Thanks!

I don't believe this option is available at this time with iOS.

In Safari no, however completely do-able if you use Web for Workspace one.  Just set an override policy for the browser to lock it into the webpage you wish to auto open

Thanks, Wesley. I 'totally' forgot about Web for Workspace One / AirWatch Browser.

Wesley - Can you be more specific as to where you configure the settings you're referring to?

Are you able to point me in the direction on how to setup a configuration for the Workspace ONE Web application? I'm not finding any information online. I would also like to lock our iPads into a single URL.

VMware web info can be found here:

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workspace-ONE-UEM/services/Web_Admin_Guide/GUID-AWT-AWB-INTRODUCTI...

 

Also a user guide is here:

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workspace-ONE-UEM/services/WEB_iOS_User_Guide/GUID-91906974-8B0B-4...

Note: for Vmware Web application you need to have the right licenses. this is normal based on the Workspace one advanced (or higher) license.

If you want to put an iOS device in KIOSK mode, the device needs te be in supervised state (DEP or Apple configurator).

info about that can be found here: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workspace-ONE-UEM/services/AppleBusinessManager/GUID-AWT-INTRO-APP...
