Enabling the Significant-Change Location Service

Applicable to: MobileIron Go for iOS

The significant-change location service offers a more power-friendly alternative to deliver location updates to the MobileIron Go for iOS app only when the user’s position changes by a significant amount, after a minimum of 15 minutes (default interval). If this service is enabled, then on location change the MobileIron Go app wakes up in the background and checks in.

To enable the Significant-Change Location service:

  1. Log in to MobileIron Cloud.
  2. Go to Apps > App Catalog.
  3. Click the MobileIron Go app link for iOS to open the app details page.
  4. Click the App Configurations tab.
  5. Click the plus sign next to iOS Managed App Configuration to display the Configuration Setup page to add a new configuration OR click iOS Managed App Configuration to edit an existing configuration.
  6. Click Add to add a new configuration or click the name of an existing configuration and click Edit.

  7. Under iOS Managed App Settings, click +Add to add the following key-value pairs:

    • EnableSLCSync - Enter 1 to enable SLC sync or 0 to disable SLC sync (default).
    • SLCSyncInterval - Enter an integer. If this key-value pair is not configured, the default value of 15 minutes is considered by the service.
  8. Click Save for a new configuration or click Update for an existing configuration.
NOTE: If the SLCSyncInterval key is set to a value, the significant-change location sync will happen only if the previous check-in was earlier than the specified interval.
