Assign Managed Google Play applications

To assign the added apps using the Managed Google Play Store, complete the following steps:

1. Navigate to Application.
2. On the Application page, click the check box for the apps to be assigned.
3. Click Assign.
4. On the Assign Application page, configure the assignment:
   • Target Device — Select the target device type.
   • Install Area — The designated installation area based on the device type is displayed.
   • Install Type — For Android Legacy devices, the installation type is designated as manual. For Android Enterprise devices, you can select the installation type.
     • Manual — Allow users to install the app manually.
     • Automatic (Removable) — Set the app to be installed automatically. Users are allowed to remove the app. When you select this option, a new option called Schedule opens.
   • Auto-run after Installion (Android Enterprise and Android Legacy) — Set to start the app immediately after installation.

   • Auto Update Mode — Select an update schedule for the app. The available schedules are:

     • Default Update — The app updates based on the global Android Enterprise settings on the KM console.
     • High Priority — The app updates whenever an update is available. This setting overrides KM's global update setting for Android Enterprise apps.
     • Postponed (90 days) — When an update is released, it is postponed for 90 days. This setting overrides KM's global update setting for Android Enterprise apps.

   • Managed Configuration — Click Set Configuration to customize the additional settings only for the app. This option appears only when assigning the app to Android Enterprise devices.

     • By default, each setting is grey, which indicates that it's unset. To apply a setting, click Configure, then select or enter a value. When the setting is configured, the button turns blue. To unset a setting, click ✓ Configured, which turns the setting and the button grey again.
     • For settings with text fields, click Lookup to browse and select from the list of available lookup items. Lookup items are helpful device- and enterprise-related tokens that substitute their actual values when passed to the device. For example, the ${DeviceIMEI} lookup item substitutes for the device's IMEI/MEID.
     • To import a saved configuration for this app, click Import Configuration, then select a CONFIG file from your local filesystem. After importing, the fields populate with the saved configuration's values.
     • When configuring Gmail, Outlook, or the Samsung Email (6.0 and higher) app, if you want to use the information stored in the Knox Manage server, enter $emailaddress$ in the Email Address field and $username$ in the Username field.
     • If you use the Exchange ActiveSync type, your email address, account password, and the exchange server name should be entered.
   • Schedule — In this section, you can specify the following two options:
     • Use Deployment Scheduler — You can either choose to allow a scheduled deployment or continue to use manual deployment for the app. Depending upon your requirements, select Use or Do not use.
     • Deployment Starts At — If you've chosen to use a scheduled deployment method, you can select your deployment start time in this option. Use the date picker and time lists to specify the deployment start time.
5. Select the target type.
6. Search for the target groups/organizations and click the check box for the groups/organizations to assign.
7. Click Assign.
8. In the Assign Application window, view the assignment information and click OK.
