Per-App Settings (Distribute Configuration to Apps)

For apps that support configuration settings, BizMobile Go! can distribute the configuration.
This applies to store apps and in-house apps distributed from BizMobile Go!.

What you can do with per-app settings

• Set configuration that an app requires, or that finely controls how the app behaves
• Set information used to authenticate the device

Requirements and limitations for per-app settings

• Whether or not you use EMM, the app must support configuration settings
• If you use EMM, enter the package name of a supported app and the configurable items are displayed automatically
• If you do not use EMM, the input format is limited to JSON format.
  For the information that can be configured, contact the app provider (developer).

Create per-app settings

App configuration is set in a profile.
By assigning the profile you create to the same template as the app to be configured, you can distribute it to all devices assigned (registered) to that template.
Note: If you have already created a profile, start from the ③ Application Configuration payload (step 3).

1. Click [Create] under CONFIG → Profiles.
   
2. In the profile information screen that opens, enter the OS, name, device type, and other required information.
   For details on the settings, see Profiles for Android.
   
3. Click [Configure] for the Application Configuration payload.
   
4. Click [Add Per App Settings].
   
5. [Step 1: Select Application]: Click the magnifying glass icon.
   
6. Select the required app and click [Close].
   
7. [Step 2: Configure App Settings]: Register a [Configuration Name].
   The following image shows an example when EMM is used.
   If you do not use EMM, there is no [Configuration Name] to register, so go to step 9.
   
8. [Step 2: Configure App Settings]: Find the item you want to set for the app.
   When you find the item, click [Settings] and enter a value.
   The following image shows an example when EMM is used.
   

You can also use information managed by BizMobile Go! to authenticate the device (= the user).
Select the information to use for authentication from the list predefined in BizMobile Go! below. If you enter a variable from the list enclosed in $ signs, a device-specific value is set automatically.
(Example: $user_email$)

Values you can enter

Variable	Substituted value
device_identifier	The device's Identifier
device_id	A device ID that is unique in the system (included in the URL of the device detail screen)
device_did	A device UID that is unique in the system (cannot be checked in the admin console)
device_name	The device's Name on Device (a value obtained from the device)
device_display_name	The device's Name
user_email	The Email Address of the User assigned to the device
user_username	The Username of the User assigned to the device
unit_unitid	Unit ID

warning

When you use information managed by BizMobile Go! to apply a different setting to each device, you cannot mix variables and fixed values in a setting. Enter only a variable.

Correct example: $user_email$
Incorrect example: $user_usename$@bizmobile.co.jp

warning

Variable settings are available only when EMM is used.

Confirm that the setting is reflected, and then click [Save] and [Add].

9. [Configure app settings without EMM, or in-house app]: Specify the settings in JSON format.
   
   The information you can specify in JSON depends on the app's specifications, so check with the provider (developer) (JSON format sample).

10. Confirm that the setting is reflected, and then click [Save].
    
    Assign the profile you created above to the required template to distribute the application configuration.
