Vacation Mode allows school administrators or parents to apply a pre-created profile to a student's device, overriding any existing profiles or schedules. This feature is particularly useful when students are travelling and changing time zones, as it quickly locks the device into a pre-defined profile without altering existing profile schedules.
Benefits of Vacation Mode
- Quick Application: Easily lock the device into a pre-defined profile.
- Override Existing Profiles: Overrides any profile or schedule currently applied to the device.
- Travel Convenience: Ideal for students travelling abroad and changing time zones.
- Audit Log: Displays who and when Vacation Mode was toggled, viewable under the device history tab.
