Simplified Login
Most of the times, you use the same environment to log in to the installed application.
To reduce this effort of using the same series of steps to log in to a particular environment every time, you can use the Mobile Device Management (MDM) option.
How to configure MDM?
An MDM application must be properly configured before using it to populate your environment details. The application must allow IT service to distribute the installed application to the end user’s devices. For more information, refer to MDM documentation. If you need specific MDM information, contact your IT department.
Each platform (Android and iOS) allows these configuration parameters:
| Parameter name | Purpose | Type | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| environment.url_X | URL of the environment | String | X can be any number from 1 to 5 |
| environment.name_X | Environment friendly name | String | X can be any number from 1 to 5 |
To configure one access point, you must set the fields as follows:
environment.url_1, environment.name_1
If only one access point is passed in Managed Configuration, it is shown as plain text in the Environment name. In case of multiple access points, a drop-down list has all the environments.
How to use MDM?
Typically, you provide the environment name and other details to access an environment. The MDM makes it easy for you by populating the last used environment. You just have to select and access the environment. If there is more than one environment that you use frequently, all such environments are listed under the Environment name drop-down list. You can then select the required environment and access it.
If you have used an environment at least once, the availability of the environment is checked and if the device is online, the offline data is updated. When the device is offline, you can continue to work by entering the PIN.
