Configure Home Screen

Use this dialog box to specify the home screen catalog entries, the home screen website, or the corporate bookmarks for SOTI Surf.

Note: If website filtering is enabled on the profile configuration, websites configured as the home screen or as part of the home screen catalog are automatically whitelisted.

If a device is assigned multiple profiles with SOTI Surf, there is the potential for conflicts between the configured settings. Conflicts are resolved in the following manner:

  • If a device has multiple home screen websites enabled, the profile that was assigned first will supersede all others.
  • If a device has multiple home screen catalogs enabled, all websites from all profiles will be added to the catalog on the device.
  • If a device has a website and a catalog enabled, the home screen website will supersede the catalog.
  • If a device has a profile with the home screen enabled and another with it disabled, the enabled home screen will supersede the disabled setting.
  • Corporate bookmarks from multiple profiles will be unioned.
