Setting Up the iOS Chemical Management App Using MDM (No QR Code Needed)

If your team uses mobile device management (MDM) software like JAMF, you can set up the Chemical Management app on iOS devices without needing employees to scan a QR code or enter a company link every time. This setup uses a managed app configuration, so the app opens directly to your company’s general user site.

This article will walk you through how to set it up.

Requirements

Before you begin, make sure you have:

• • Access to your organization’s MDM system (like JAMF)
  • The Chemical Management app added as a managed app
  • Your company’s General User Link (URL)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create the Catalog Item

In your MDM software, create a new catalog item (or profile) for the Chemical Management mobile app.

2. Add the Managed Configuration

Open the managed configuration settings for the new catalog item.
Add a new setting with the following details:

Note: Make sure to copy and paste the full URL exactly as given to you.

3. Save and Assign the Configuration

Save the configuration settings and assign the profile to the iOS devices that need it.

What to Expect

Once this setup is complete:

• • The app will open directly to your company’s e-binder
  • Employees won’t need to scan a QR code or enter a link
  • The login screen will be removed. Users cannot log in with a username and password on these devices

To allow login again, you will need to remove the managed configuration from the device.
