New in Enterprise Home Screen 3.2


New feature to bypass user confirmation dialog when adding Pinned shortcuts
When a Pinned shortcut is added to the home screen, prior versions of EHS presented a dialog to confirm the
request with no way to bypass. EHS 3.2 provides a configurable option to bypass this confirmation dialog. This
would be useful when the Pinned shortcut creation is automated using applications such as Enterprise Browser.
By default, bypass UI confirmation is disabled. For more information about the feature, visit the TechDocs
webpage.

Change in accessible folder list under EHS File browser UI in Android Pie
The EHS file browser UI is used to manually select an image file to set as the Wallpaper or title bar icon. Starting
from EHS 3.2, the file browser UI now exposes only the following folders in Android Pie devices:
• Internal and external storage folders
• /enterprise/usr
Note: No change in the behavior of Oreo devices.

Resolved Issues
• EHS 3.2 can now launch links that reference local files though a “URL” tag (i.e. "file://*.html") on devices
running Android 8.1 Oreo (and later) if files reside on external storage (i.e. SD card).

• Resolved an issue in enable/disable Recent apps button feature in TC20/TC25 Oreo devices where enable
and disable operations were not functioning as expected.

Usage Notes
• None

Known Issues
• When EHS is running in Google Multi-User mode on Android Pie devices, app icons are sometimes not
shown on secondary user’s home screen while switching back and forth between primary and secondary
users.

Important Links
• Installation and setup instructions

About Enterprise Home Screen


Enterprise Home Screen for Android provides a simple way for administrators to control access to apps and
settings on a Zebra device without the need to write custom code. Using a simple touch interface, EHS easily
limits usage to one or more specified applications, prevents changes to device settings and locks down the file
system. It can be configured in seconds, and settings can be deployed via MDM. EHS settings are stored in a
simple XML file that's easy to read and edit by hand, if necessary.
