Hi,

when you create a custom menu item you have 3 options:

  1. browser: the page is opened in the system's browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, ...).
  2. inappbrowser: the page is opened in a "popup" (browser embedded in the app). The app opens a new window, like a popup, inside the app itself. You need to close this inappbrowser to be able to use the app again since it overlays the whole app.
  3. embedded: the page is opened inside the app itself, using an iframe. This is not a browser, it's similar to opening a SCORM.
The first 2 options, browser and inappbrowser, support auto-login. The third one, embedded, doesn't support it right now, we have an open issue to fix it:

Kind regards,

Dani

Hi,

the app should try to auto-login you if you open a custom menu item that points to the same site you have in the app, you don't need to do anything special. Please notice auto-login has some limitation, e.g. it doesn't work for admins, the site needs to use https and you need to wait a certain time between auto-login requests for each user.

Cheers,
Dani
