How to customize the Hexnode app UI on macOS devices?
Hexnode UEM is the agent application that facilitates device-server communication, enabling effective device management. In addition, the Hexnode UEM app on the device allows users to view the device enrollment summary and check the device overview. The users can also perform other operations directly using the app, such as installing or updating apps from the App Catalog, sending logs or location data, and viewing messages sent by the admin.
With the Hexnode App UI policy, IT admins can customize the app’s user interface. Admin can choose the tabs to show or the language the app uses. For instance, by disabling the Enrollment Summary tab from the policy, users will no longer have access device-specific enrollment information from the Hexnode app. Here’s how you customize the Hexnode app UI.
This policy requires the latest version of the Hexnode UEM agent app to be installed on the device.
