Enabling the iOS significant location change service

The significant location change (SLC) service offers a power-friendly alternative, delivering location updates to Ivanti Go clients only when the device user’s position changes by a significant amount within a specified period. If this service is enabled, then on location change, the Ivanti Go app wakes up in the background and checks in.

Before you begin 

Verify that the Ivanti Go for iOS app is installed, and at least one iOS app is in the catalog. See the "App Catalog" section of the Ivanti Neurons for MDM Administrator Guide.

Procedure 

To enable the significant location change service on both managed and unmanaged clients:

  1. Log in to Ivanti Neurons for MDM admin console.
  2. Go to Configurations.
  3. Select +Add.
  4. Type privacy in the search field, and then select the Client Privacy configuration. The Create MI Client Privacy Configuration page opens.
  5. Name and describe the configuration.

  6. Under Location based Wakeups, select the Enable SLC option. The significant-change location service offers a more power-friendly alternative to deliver location updates to the Ivanti 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 Go app wakes up in the background and checks in.

  7. Select Next to configure the distribution settings.

  8. Select Done.
