Hey, all! Does anyone recommend a nice/pretty way to use with iPad's ADE as in "user-will-be-in-awe-to-go-through-this-setup" ?

I'm trying to setup some sort of onboarding for the iPads (1:1, not shared) in a similar way that we have for macOS, but I couldn't find anything (or, quite possibly, that I'm not searching in the correct ways in here ). I've tested the ADE with a prestage and it's working fine, plus the few Config Profiles that I'm doing testing with are landing correctly...just I need to make a more personalized "Corp-feel-like" experience...Btw, I'm using Jamf Pro - I need a way to have the user guided through the few hurdles with  Compliance (Register with Microsoft), Zscaler, etc

The enrollment customization part I have it sorted out, but it's not going to "enforce" the user to "click-here...run-this"...I think I need more of the 1st app to be triggered right after the ADE completion (maybe running temporarily as single-app mode?), where I can put some instructions on what the user needs to do to complete the configuration.

Thanks,

CC

This is probably not what you are looking for, but we used to do a background image that they could not remove unless they made it into a certain smart group looking for one of the “last steps” that we gave them (downloading the PowerSchool app to check their grades). The image gave instructions to follow and let them know the image would be replaceable after 24 hrs after completion. It wasn’t “pretty,” and we did have some stubborn kids not comply until we manually locked them down, but it was only maybe 3-4, and easy enough for us to manage.
