Installing apps on Android

Mobile Guardian allows you to push Android applications to devices by using Tags. Tags help specify which devices can install the app, and you can assign apps to either home-owned, school-owned, or both types of devices. Using the self-install option, you can add the specified application to the My Catalogue section of the Mobile Guardian app on the device, letting the end-user trigger the installation.

After finding and adding the new application, you can configure the install settings by mass-assigning tags or selecting sliders to assign to all school-owned or home-owned devices.

• Assign Tags:
  • In the "Add tags" input field, start entering the name of the tag you want to assign. If the tag already exists, select it from the drop-down list.
  • To add a new tag, type the tag name and press Enter to create it. 

#Note: Tags will be displayed as you add them. Click X if you want to remove a tag.

• Save Settings: Click "Add" to save the settings you have added. 

Your applications will be added to the My Catalogue section of the Mobile Guardian app at the next device refresh.
