Configure MANAGED SETTINGS for Appaloosa

MANAGED SETTINGS can be set up quickly and easily through Appaloosa. The following guide is written for Device deployment through a managed policy.

Prerequisites:

• Android Enterprise is bound
• A policy exists, or will be created for this guide
• Requirements are met
• A licence key, if desired

Head to Catalog on the left-hand navigation.

Click + Add an application and select Public under Android.

Search for BAYTON MANAGED SETTINGS, or org.bayton.managedsettings if the former returns no results. Click the icon to select the app.

Click Select.

A confirmation the app was added will appear, after which the managed Google Play iFrame can be closed with the X, top right.

MANAGED SETTINGS will appear in the apps table.

Click the MANAGED SETTINGS application in the selected apps list, this will open the app overview.

Switch over to Managed Configuration. Click Create a managed configuration.

Click Edit, set the appropriate configs, and click Save.

All other tabs can be ignored, as when the application is added to a policy in due course, it will be automatically pushed to assigned devices. The application doesn't require any runtime permissions, so this tab can be disregarded also.

On the left-hand navigation, select Configurations.

Select or create a new configuration, and optionally click Edit if required.

Select the Applications tab.

Scroll to Add applications and begin typing the app name, BAYTON MANAGED SETTINGS. The application will automatically pop up after a couple of characters.

Optionally set High priority update and click Save.

Move to the Configuration tab and click Edit, then scroll down to Kiosk Mode.

Enable Kiosk Mode and ensure:

• Enable fullscreen locked app: Off
• Enable access to device settings: Off

Configure additional Kiosk Mode settings as desired and click Save.

Configuration is complete.
