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.
