Installing and activating
BlackBerry Work
,
BlackBerry Notes
, and
BlackBerry Tasks

Before users can begin using
BlackBerry Work
,
BlackBerry Notes
, and
BlackBerry Tasks
, they must be activated. The steps that users take to install these apps depend on how you have configured your environment. If you have not yet configured your activation settings, see Activating devices with BlackBerry UEM for steps on how to configure your environment to support
BlackBerry Dynamics
apps.
The following options are available for installing the apps on
iOS
and
Android
devices:
  • For MDM managed devices, using
    BlackBerry UEM
    , you can push
    BlackBerry Work
    ,
    BlackBerry Notes
    , and
    BlackBerry Tasks
    to users or you can make the app available to their work catalogs. No access key is required to activate
    BlackBerry Dynamics
    apps.
  • For devices that are not MDM managed, users can download
    BlackBerry Work
    ,
    BlackBerry Notes
    , and
    BlackBerry Tasks
    from the
    App Store
    or the
    Google Play
    store. Users require an access key to activate these apps.
The following options are available for activating the apps on
iOS
and
Android
devices:
  • Activate the apps using the
    BlackBerry UEM Client
    or another
    BlackBerry Dynamics
    app that is already installed on the device: This option provides users with a consistent, streamlined activation experience. Users need only their email address and an activation password and do not require an access key. Users must install the
    UEM Client
    to activate their devices with MDM. For this option to be available to users, you must allow the
    UEM Client
    to manage the activation of
    BlackBerry Dynamics
    apps
    .
  • Activate the apps using an activation key, activation password, or QR code: Users would choose this option if they have not installed the
    UEM Client
    on their device or if you have not allowed the to manage the activation of
    BlackBerry Dynamics
    apps.
