Perform Hexnode app UI customizations for iOS
The Hexnode UEM application installed on the device post-enrollment plays a critical role in device-server communication. The users can view the device’s overview and the compliance details through this app. Moreover, the Hexnode UEM application helps users send and download app logs, view messages received from the admin, install applications from the Catalog tab, and more.
But, as an administrator, you can decide which app functionalities should be available to the user. You can choose what the users can view or access from the Hexnode UEM application. The Hexnode App UI policy allows the administrators to configure the application UI presented on the device, which can be associated after it is enrolled. Here’s how you customize the Hexnode App UI for iOS devices.
Configuring Hexnode App UI on iOS devices
To customize Hexnode App UI on your iOS device,
- Log in to your Hexnode UEM portal.
- Navigate to Policies > New Policy. Assign a suitable name and description (optional) for the policy. You can also choose to continue with an existing policy.
- Go to iOS > Customizations > Hexnode App UI. Click Configure.
