I've never used Jamf but would like to see if it could help with an iPad that will be in a kiosk like environment. Basically, during business hours we would like the screen to remain on and after the business closes have the screen turn off (automatically). Can the auto-lock setting in settings app be manipulated/changed according to a schedule?

To my knowledge this isn't possible, though I may be wrong. You can configure the Single App Mode payload in a Configuration Profile to lock the device to a specific app and disable auto-lock. Pushing the power button at the top does turn off the display, but if you don't push that it would remain on overnight - I don't know of a way to set up an automatic schedule.
