The Ensemble Quick Actions Menu can be added to a project within the Ensemble App Settings policy screen. This menu allows easy access to critical settings like brightness and Wi-Fi without granting full access to the settings menu.


To enable this menu, navigate to Project | Policies | Ensemble App Settings | Quick Actions:

  • Enable Quick Actions Menu in action bar: choose if the quick actions can be accessed from the Ensemble action bar during check-in or while in Multi Kiosk Mode.
  • Brightness: displays brightness control so the user can set the brightness level or choose automatic.
  • Wi-Fi: enable or disable Wi-Fi. Cannot join or leave a network.
  • Bluetooth: enable or disable Bluetooth. Cannot connect or disconnect from a specific device.
  • Auto-rotate: enable or disable screen rotation.
  • Flashlight: turn the flashlight on or off.
  • More (Ensemble menu): allows the user to quickly access the Ensemble menu options while using the floating settings button. (see more details in Single Kiosk Mode below).
