Configuring Enterprise Apps

Many apps in the managed Play Store offer managed configuration. These configurations vary by app, but generally allow you to enter company specific information, such as server URLs or authentication tokens. If managed configuration is available for an app, it will be indicated below the Approve/Buy button in the managed Play Store. After an app is approved, it can be configured using an Avalanche software payload.

For an overview of using managed configurations, see the following video:
