Mobile Device Management (MDM)

You can configure settings in the AVEVA Work Tasks Pro app using Mobile Device Management applications, such as AirWatch and SOTI.

Note: MDM configurations are supported for the AVEVA Work Tasks Pro app on iOS and Android platforms, but are not supported on the AVEVA Work Tasks Pro Windows app.

In the MDM application, configure the settings as key-value pairs. The keys are fixed, but the values can be customized based on your requirements.

Before installing the AVEVA Work Tasks Pro app, configure the required keys in the MDM application.

When you install the AVEVA Work Tasks Pro app for the first time, the configured values are automatically available in the application..

To configure the keys in iOS, you need to upload the XML having the key configurations.

For example, you need to import the XML file with the script given below:
