App-specific configuration

ProntoForms has options that can be enabled or disabled via the MobileIron configuration screen. They are as follows: 

To configure these options, navigate to the MobileIron Core Admin Portal: Policies & Configs -> Configurations -> Add New -> iOS and OS X > Managed App Config.

Edit Managed App Configuration with the Name, Description, Bundle Id and select the external file (PLIST), that contains the App-specific key-value pair configurations required for the app. Below is a sample PLIST file.

Security Controls

These controls are provided by Google and implemented by your EMM provider. ProntoForms does not specifically support or enable/disable any of these options. The App-Specific cut and paste options work independently from the “Allow copy and paste” options in the Work Profile settings. In particular, the App-Specific options work for both employee-owned and corporate-owned devices.

MobileIron Core Admin: App Catalog > Edit App > Managed App Settings:

MobileIron Core Admin: Policies & Configs > Configurations > Add New > iOS and IOS X > Restrictions

Secure Tunneling support

Currently, ProntoForms does not support secure tunneling.
