Configure Personalized Lock Screen using Live Activities
NOTE: Applies to iOS devices only.
This feature allows administrators to automatically add the Device User name and other information to the device Lock Screen, so that identifying information is displayed without the user needing to unlock the device.
-
This is the preferred method of configuring the device Lock Screen to display the user name, instead of the Set Wallpaper workflow action.
NOTE:The Personalized Lock Screen using Live Activities feature is separate from setting a wallpaper on the device.
-
After configuring this feature, users will see the change in Locker behavior after the next checkin and checkout.
Supported iOS Workflow Models
The Personalized Lock Screen feature supports the following Workflow models:
-
iOS Express Checkout
-
DEP
-
non-DEP
Behavior
-
At device checkout, the user is prompted to allow Live Activities on the device. Live Activities launches Imprivata Locker.
NOTE:If the user taps Don't allow at the Live Activities prompt, the feature will not work and the user will not be prompted to re-enable or allow. This is a one-time prompt; it will not appear at each checkout.
Live Activities can be re-enabled in Settings on the device.
-
The Lock Screen of the checked out device displays the Device User name, and additional optional attributes.
If you also configured the Overdue Devices feature, the device displays a dynamically updating timer indicating the remaining device lending period.

-
When the user returns the device, the Check In Workflow is run, clearing the Live Activities from the device.
-
If the user swipes left on the Live Activity from the Lock Screen and dismisses the Live Activities, opening Imprivata Locker re-initiates Live Activities the next time the device locks.
-
Tapping the Live Activities widget opens the Imprivata Locker app.

MAM 7.3 or later

In the Name section, select the format of the username to display on the Lock Screen.
-
In the Attributes section, specify up to three attributes to display on the Lock Screen.
