About Help@Work for iOS

Help@Work for iOS with TeamViewer is an integration that enables administrators to remotely view supported iOS devices managed by Ivanti EPMM. VPN is not required. After initiating a remote control session from the Admin Portal, administrators can configure iOS devices and troubleshoot issues without having the devices in hand. The remote control session displays on the administrator’s desktop, enabling point-and-click navigation of the device.

Help@Work requires that the TeamViewer QuickSupport app is installed on the iOS device. The TeamViewer QuickSupport app must be an iOS managed app. That is, you must add it to the App Catalog on Ivanti EPMM for distribution to iOS devices.

Because the TeamViewer QuickSupport app must be an iOS managed app, which requires iOS MDM (Mobile Device Management), Ivanti EPMM does not support Help@Work on MAM-only devices.

Prerequisites

Help@Work for iOS requires:

  • access to the (Ivanti Community Portal) during initial setup for one-time license activation

Supported devices

Ivanti EPMM supports Help@Work using the TeamViewer QuickSupport app on iOS 10 or supported newer versions.

However, on iOS 10 devices, the TeamViewer QuickSupport app is limited to sharing screenshots. On iOS 11 and later, the TeamViewer QuickSupport app supports real-time screensharing.
