Single-app mode policies

Required. Enter a descriptive name for this policy. This is the text that will be displayed to identify this policy throughout the Admin Portal. This name must be unique within this policy type.

It is recommended to use unique names across policy types to allow for clearer log entries.

Select Active to enable the policy, or Inactive to disable it.

Only one active single-app mode policy can be applied to a device. You can define two single-app mode policies and send them to supervised devices, for example, as long as only one of the policies is active. You can easily switch policies by inactivating the policy you want to disable and then forcing a device check-in. Supervised devices can have any number of policies that you can activate at any time, but only one policy is active.

Specifies the priority of this policy relative to the other custom policies of the same type. This priority determines which policy is applied if more than one policy is available.

Select Higher than or Lower than, then select an existing policy from the drop-down list.

For example, to give Policy A a higher priority than Policy B, you would select “Higher than” and “Policy B”.

Priority will only work when the policies (lower and higher priority) are applied together via label to the device after it's initial registration is done. In this case, higher priority will take precedence; for the rest of the cases, priority will not work.
