How to restrict the screen timeout for a specific app in SureLock

In a Kiosk set up on Android devices, sometimes the organization never wants the device screen to turn off or the brightness to dim when any specific app is running idle. In such cases, the administrator can set up SureLock in such a way that it will prevent screen timeout for only certain apps. This makes sure that even though the timeout for the Kiosk is set up, it will not take effect when their specific app is running.
