This panel section contains a list of the applications and network connection types installed on the currently selected device. A network connection type is an access point to a network, controlled by the device - for instance a Bluetooth connection. You can block one or several applications or connections on the device. If an application or connection is blocked, the user will receive the following warning when he or she tries to use the application or network connection:
Select the Use field for an application or connection to change the setting for this device - that is, to block or unblock it. The icon in the Status field changes to indicate that you are overriding a default or group setting.
To block or remove the blocking of applications and connections for the device, select or de-select the Block field for the item(s) in question, and click Save to save the new settings. A dialog shows the settings you have changed and asks you to confirm that you wish to save the settings and send it to the device(s) at the next synchronization. If you also select the field Push in the confirmation dialog, the changes are pushed to the device(s) immediately.
Note that in order to block application in Apple iOS devices, you must enroll the device and create a configuration profile. See MDM on Apple iOS and Apple iOS profiles for more information.
Some applications cannot be blocked. These are applications which are used by DME, or which are vital for the device to work properly, and it is therefore not possible to block them.
Users are unable to block or unblock applications or connections from the client, and hence there is no Lock column as in the Settings panel section. The following columns are available:
This column is the unique identification for the application. The ID can be used to verify the application in case any doubt as to the identity of the application arises.
This column shows the common name of the application or network connection.
This column indicates if the current item is an application or a network connection.
Shows the date and time of when the setting was last changed for the current item.
This column shows the status of each application:
|
The default value of the Block setting of the current application applies to this device. |
|
The Block setting of the current application has been set for a group of which this device is a member (the setting applies to all devices in the group that contain this application), overriding default settings. |
|
The Block setting has been set for this device (overriding group and default settings). |
If the current device is an enrolled Apple iOS device, you can refresh the list of currently installed apps on the device by clicking the Retrieve application list action.
