Configuring Ivanti Docs@Work for Android AppConnect in Ivanti Neurons for MDM

Before you begin 

  • Decide which repositories you want to make available. All repositories you configure for Docs@Work are visible to all users. You can provide select users with instructions for accessing restricted repositories.

  • Collect the following information for each repository:
    • URL for the site
    • type of repository (SharePoint, WebDAV)
    • subtype of repository (Office 365, NetworkDrive, and so on.)

To configure Docs@Work on Ivanti Neurons for MDM follow these steps:

Procedure 

  1. Edit the Default AppConnect device configuration or create a new one.

    If the same settings will apply to all user groups and all AppConnect-enabled apps, then you can edit the default configuration. Only one AppConnect device configuration can be applied to a given device and all AppConnect-enabled apps on that device.

  2. Add the Docs@Work app to the app catalog.
    • Under Advanced Options and App Configuration, provide the following information for each content site you want to display in Docs@Work:
