To customize the appearance of your device home screen, you can configure the following in a device home screen template:
-
The text that displays at the top of the screen while the vehicle is stopped. For example, you could list your company name and contact information, or emergency support contact information.
-
Whether to display the logo for your organization at the top of the screen while the vehicle is stopped.
-
The size of the app icons on the device to improve accessibility both while the vehicle is in motion or stopped.
If you have different device requirements, you can configure separate templates and attach them to policies that apply to specific groups of devices.
To configure a Device Home Screen template:
-
Select the Settings icon (
) at the bottom of your Fleet menu to view dashboard settings.
-
In MEM, select Displays > Home Screen Customization.

+ Add a new template.
-
Define the template settings:
-
Template Name: Provide a descriptive name to identify the template in the Samsara dashboard .
-
Display Text: Enter the text you want the Samsara Launcher App to display when the vehicle is stopped.
-
App Icon Size: (Requires launcher version 2.2.0 or above) Select the size of icons to appear on the device home screen. The icon size applies to apps both while the vehicle is stopped and while the vehicle is in motion.
Each size corresponds to a limit to the number of apps that can display on the home screen: Small (up to 25 apps), Medium (Default; up to 16 apps), or Large (up to 9 apps). If the number of apps on the home screen is greater than the maximum allowed by the icon size, the excess overflowing apps will not display. However, overflow apps are accessible on the device in the full app library by selecting the all apps button at the bottom of the home screen.
-
Display Logo: (Requires launcher version 2.2.0 or above) Choose this option if you want to display the logo for your organization on the home screen while the vehicle is stopped.
Samsara automatically uses the logo for your organization which is uploaded to the Samsara dashboard when you Configure your Dashboard for the First Time.

Save your changes when finished.
