Solutions / Shared iPads
Shared iPads,
managed with care.
For iPads at counters, warehouses and front desks, plan locked-down, single-purpose setups that stay consistent from shift to shift.
The challenge
The problem with a device everyone touches
- Anyone can change settings or open apps the device was never meant for.
- One iPad drifts from the next, and nobody knows which is which.
- Cleaning up between shifts is manual and easy to forget.
How AAMDM helps
What you can do,
and when.
Know every iPad
Inventory shows model, serial number and management status, organized by location.
Enroll with a profile
Enroll an iPad with profile-based enrollment and confirm it appears in the workspace.
Restricted, single-purpose setups
Configuration policies are the foundation for limiting what a shared iPad can do. Which restrictions are available will be confirmed as they are released, and some Apple restrictions only apply to supervised devices.
Groups for each location
Group the iPads at one counter or warehouse and manage them together.
Reset between shifts
A routine to return a shared iPad to a known state is something we want to offer. Scope and timing are not committed.
An audit trail
See who changed what, and when.
Single-purpose restrictions and reset routines are not live. Policies are planned for Phase 2; reset routines are not yet scheduled. Phase badges show where each capability sits on the roadmap.
Setup
A simple way
to get started.
- 1
Define the purpose
Decide the one job each shared iPad does: check-in, scanning, ordering or something else.
- 2
Enroll the iPads
Enroll each iPad and name it by location so it is easy to find.
- 3
Group and restrict
Group by site and apply restrictions as policies are released.
- 4
Set a reset routine
Agree who resets a shared iPad and when, and keep that routine in your own procedures until it is built in.
