extend display lockout on iPad?

Does anyone know of a way to extend the display lockout period from the built-in maximum of 15 minutes to something more valuable in a business environment?

I have several ipads mounted in different locations and it would be amazing to decrease the time out from "never" to something like 2 hours. The 15 minute option is not an option. Having something that would give me at least an hour would save my screens long-term.

Any ideas are great.

--(Currently I am using Cisco/Meraki MDM but it doesn't seem to have that option. I have reached out to JAMF three times on this topic and the sales person continues to reach out to me as if I have never asked a question).

(It would need to be compatible with iOS 9.x, 12 and 13)

Thanks

Thanks for your response. However, I am able to set the time out to 15 minutes (and any value under that) as well as Never. Maybe I mispoke earlier. The MDM has no issue with that, and I can override Apple's default settings to be "never" if I want to using strictly the MDM product.

I am looking to see if there is a way to set screens to sleep after an hour, or after two hours. It isn't an option inside the iPad, but if there is another MDM, or something else that does allow for this I'd be very interested in jumping ship for this purpose.

thanks again.
