At the end of a deployment, GroundControl can wait for a specified app to be installed on a device. This action applies to pre-installed apps, Enterprise Apps and ones downloaded via MDM. If the app is being downloaded from MDM, you can set the criteria for how long to wait for the app to install. If using an Enterprise App, make … Read More

The workflow action in Advanced > On Failure allows you to specify what happens if a workflow fails for any reason. First, you can have GroundControl automatically retry the workflow up to 10 times.

If a device is acting up, the user simply flips a switch on their iPhone, to mark the phone as “Unhealthy.” On the next connection to a charging station, GroundControl takes over, re-provisioning the device as new. Self Healing means your ... Read More

This Advanced action allows you to set device Attributes if the Workflow was a success. Set Attribute can be useful for single-use Workflows, copying Launchpad attributes to device attributes, and more.

While you can set restrictions with your MDM, GroundControl also provides the same function. Please note that iOS devices will combine multiple restriction sets in the most restrictive way. So, while you can always add restrictions, you cannot use this system to remove them.

GroundControl can put your device in Single App Mode (also sometimes known as Kiosk mode). This action restricts your device to one specific app and it be configured using built-in apps, Enterprise Apps and ones downloaded via MDM. If the app is being downloaded from MDM, the Launchpad will wait some time (default 5 minutes) for the download to complete. If using … Read More
