Now let’s move into the setup details. As we talked about before, iPads have several setup options.
[CLICK] Administrators can use the Apple Configurator to manage multiple devices at once. Using this method you will enable Supervised mode on the iPad and then lock the iPad to the TestNav 8 application for testing.
[CLICK] Profile Manager is Apple's MDM solution for Mac OS X. You can select the TestNav app from the Lock to App menu and push the profile to supervised devices.
[CLICK] Individual iPad devices can be configured using Guided Access. This set of steps will be done on each iPad to secure the device and lock it to the TestNav 8 app.
[CLICK] Autonomous Single App Mode allows the Single App mode to be turned on dynamically when the TestNav 8 application is launched. This method requires both a Mobile Device Manager (MDM) and an iPad that is in Supervised mode.
