Configure On-Device Sales Automation
If your marketplace supports On-Device Sales Automation (ODSA), Company Administrators can configure the following settings:
- Enable or disable ODSA for their company—Disabled by default. Company Administrators must enable it for their own company.
- Set up the on-device application installation—After ODSA is enabled for their company, Company Administrators must complete the ODSA setup so that mobile applications can be installed on iOS devices.
After you configure ODSA as described in the following procedure, all company users with iOS devices can enroll their devices by downloading the AppDirect Authentication application from the Apple App Store on their iOS devices. They can then log in with their marketplace credentials and follow the on-device instructions to enroll. After users enroll, applications they are entitled to are pushed to their devices.
Ensure that you have enabled ODSA for your company before you start the following procedure. See Enable On-Device Sales Automation.
