You can set the same image as a wallpaper for a home screen and a lock screen on your users' devices that fall under the same policy.

To set a wallpaper on your users' Android devices:

1. In the console tree, in the Managed devices folder, select the administration group to which the Android devices belong.
2. In the workspace of the group, select the Policies tab.
3. Open the policy properties window by double-clicking any column.

   Complete the following steps within 15 minutes. Otherwise, you may face an error when saving changes to the policy.

4. In the policy Properties window, select the Device management section.
5. In the Setting wallpaper for home screen and lock screen section, click Set.

   The Setting wallpaper window opens.

6. In the How to set wallpaper drop-down list, select the way of setting a wallpaper:
   • Download image from internet

     For this variant, you need to specify a URL beginning with http:// or https://. Use only trusted websites.

   • Upload image

     For this variant, you need to upload an image in the PNG or JPEG format with the maximum size of 1 MB.

7. Once the image is imported, you can preview it in the Setting wallpaper window.

   Preview

   For the Upload image variant, an image preview is always shown. It is saved in the policy and is available during further editing of the configured wallpaper.

   For the Download image from internet variant, the Preview button appears if the image is downloaded from a URL beginning with http://. Click the button to show an image preview. The preview is not saved in the policy. So, when editing the configured wallpaper, you may need to download the preview once again.

   The Preview functionality does not work for images downloaded from URLs beginning with https://.

8. If you want to use the same image as a wallpaper for a lock screen, select the Use the same image for lock screen check box. Otherwise, the image is used only as a home screen wallpaper.
