Mobile Device Management can require or disallow apps on mobile devices. App profiles determine which apps are required to be installed or disallowed from being installed on mobile devices. Each app profile represents a different set of apps. All apps belonging to the same app profile are either all required or all disallowed. You can assign multiple app profiles to a single mobile device. Changes to an app profile affect all devices assigned that app profile. Supports the management of apps downloaded from app stores as well as proprietary enterprise apps.
The App Profiles page specifies the apps belonging to each app profile and whether they are required or disallowed.
An app profile is assigned to managed mobile devices using Assign App Profiles page.
The App Catalog page maintains a catalog of app items. An app item is a record that uniquely identifies a single app that can be required or disallowed on a mobile device.
The App Inventory page generates a list of app items based on an audit of all mobile devices managed by Mobile Device Management. Rather than specify app items manually in the App Catalog, you can use this page to add an automatically created app item to the App Catalog.
An App Compliance tab displays on the Device Summary page. The tabs shows all required apps missing from the device and all disallowed apps installed on the device. An Application tab shows all apps on the device regardless of their compliance status.
Two alerts tabs on the Device Alerts page can notify you about app compliance: Disallowed Apps and Required Apps.
You can customize the messages sent to invite users to install a required app, using the System Settings page.
App management is supported by two options on the Server Settings page: Retention Time for App Invite Logs and Threshold for Resending App Invites.
