Release Notes


Abstract

Support for enrollment through QR Code on Android Enterprise devices

Content

MaaS360 simplifies the enrollment process by allowing the administrators to deploy enrollment settings during the QR code enrollment. Previously, only Wi-Fi settings were deployed through QR code based enrollment. This feature eliminates the need to create a separate enrollment request for Android Enterprise devices.

Generating a QR code for enrollment:
  1.  Navigate to Devices > Enrollments > Other Enrollment Options > Android Enterprise QR Code Provisioning.
    Android Enterprise QR Code Provisioning dialog box
    Result: The Android Enterprise QR Code Provisioning window is displayed.
  2. The fields within the Android Enterprise QR Code Provisioning window can be left blank to allow for user input and universal enrollment utilization. Admins can also choose to prepopulate these fields for users for a streamlined enrollment experience but each user will need their own QR code. 
  3. Optional: Wi-Fi settings can be preconfigured for users under the Wi-Fi Settings tab.

  4. When ready to proceed, select Continue.
