How to set up lock screens
Lock screens can be placed on any resource (Course, Library Content, Channel, and Events), but this example will show how to set up lock screens on a Course.
1. Click the Admin Panel button.
2. Click Courses on the side menu.
3. Click the course from the list you want to apply the lock screen to.
4. Click the Settings tab. Scroll down to the Course Options section and enable the lock screen option. You have to complete the following details for the lock screen:
Instructions: This will be displayed below the Restricted header.
Button label: This is not required as your lock screen can be created without it, but this button will help you redirect users to external URLs. This will be the text for the button.
Button URL: This will be the link where the users will be redirected after clicking the button on the lock screen.
5. Click the Save button to apply changes.
Example of a lock screen:
