Configuring
BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher

The
BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher
 is a UI component that is accessed in
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps (for example,
BlackBerry Work
) with the
BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher
 button. The
BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher
 creates a placeholder location for app settings. The
BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher
 is a library module with numerous functions, currently comprising of the following: 
  • The user's name, photo, presence, and status
  • A list of
    BlackBerry Dynamics
    -powered apps and modules installed on the device.
  • Quick create options to easily compose an email, create a note, schedule a calendar event, or add a contact, regardless of which app is currently open.
To provide this rich user experience, the
BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher
 library requires
BEMS
 server-side services to:
  • Synchronize policy-based sections (modules) between applications. For example, when
    Docs
     is enabled in
    BlackBerry Work
    , the
    Docs
     icon is enabled in the
    BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher
    , even when it is opened outside of
    BlackBerry Work
     in apps like
    BlackBerry Access
     or
    BlackBerry Connect
    .
  • Fetch company directory information about the user to display the correct name and picture.
  • Fetch presence information for the user and display the appropriate status (available, busy, away, do not disturb) and the user's presence message.
The required server-side services for the
BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher
 comprise of the following:
  • Presence
     (service id = com.good.gdservice.enterprise.presence)
  • BlackBerry Directory Lookup
     (service id = com.good.gdservice.enterprise.directory)
  • BlackBerry
     Follow-Me Store (service id = com.good.gdservice.enterprise.followme)
The client entitlement app to use these services is
Good
 Enterprise Services (AppID = com.good.gdserviceentitlement.enterprise). For information on entitlement apps that are required when the services are installed on separate computers, see Server-side services.
BlackBerry Dynamics
 clients, like the
BlackBerry Work
 app, check the server list for available
BEMS
 instances hosting these services. This means the list must be populated with at least one computer that hosts
BEMS
 to enable
Good
 Enterprise Services. In addition, the
Good
 Enterprise Services entitlement app must be added to at least one App Group in
BlackBerry UEM
 like
"All users"
.
