     • Managed Configuration—Customize the additional settings only for the application. This option appears only when you assign the application to Android Enterprise devices.
       • When configuring Gmail, Outlook, or the Samsung email (v6.0 or higher) application, 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.
   • App Track — Allow users to use the Application Track feature to assign pre-release, closed test versions of Managed Google Play applications.
     NOTE — The Application Track feature lets you assign pre-release, closed test versions of Managed Google Play applications to devices. To use such closed testing versions: create and release a custom, closed version of the MGP application in the Google Play Console. Then when you want to assign such applications to your devices, click to select the box for this application and then click Assign.
