This is a Free App | Select for free recommended apps. iOS allows Managed App features to be applied to free apps and apps purchased with VPP credits, but not to apps paid for by the user. Specifying whether the app is free ensures successful download of apps that otherwise require user payment. |
Hide this App from the Apps@Work catalog | Select to prevent this app from being displayed in Apps@Work. For example, you might want to hide apps that will be installed upon registration anyway. Hiding a mandatory app reduces clutter in Apps@Work, leaving device users with a concise menu of the approved apps they might find useful. |
Allow conversion of apps from unmanaged to managed in Apps@Work (iOS 9 or later). | Select if you want to allow the app to be converted from an unmanaged app to a managed app in Apps@Work on devices running iOS 9 through the most recently released version. The unmanaged app will not require uninstallation, as it will be converted directly to a managed app. |
Feature this App in the Apps@Work Catalog | Select this option if you want to highlight this app in the Featured apps list. The Message feature for iOS apps applies only to featured apps. For more information, see “Informing users of new apps and upgrades for featured apps” in the Apps@Work Guide. |
- Click Next.

If the app will use Tunnel, select the Tunnel VPN setting you created. You can select multiple per app VPN settings. To reorder the per app VPN configurations in the Selected column, use the up and down arrows to sort the names in the list. This feature applies to iOS 7 through the most recently released version. See Managing VPN settings in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for iOS and macOS devices for information on creating a per app VPN or Tunnel VPN setting. See “Setting per app VPN priority” in the Apps@Work Guide. |
Managed App Settings | |
Prevent backup of the app data | Select to ensure that iTunes will not attempt to back up possibly sensitive data associated with the given app. |
Remove app when device is quarantined or signed out | Select to enable configured compliance actions to remove the app if a policy violation results in a quarantined device or the device signs out in multi-user mode. To enable this feature, you must also configure a corresponding compliance action, and security policy with that compliance action selected. Once the device is no longer quarantined, the app can be downloaded again. If you change the setting after the app is added, the changed setting will not be applied to the app. |
Send installation request or send convert unmanaged to managed app request (iOS 9 and later) on device registration or sign-in. | Select this option so that after device registration is complete, or after a user signs in on a multi-user device:
