      Disposition
       drop-down list, select one of the following:
      • Required
        : Install the app automatically on devices and prevent users from uninstalling the app.
      • Optional
        : Allow users to install and uninstall the app.
    4. If you are assigning an
      Apple
       VPP app, and you set the
      Disposition
       to required or optional, in the
      Update Mode
       drop-down list, click the appropriate option:
      • Default
        : When a new version of the app is available, it will be pushed to devices automatically.
      • Postpone
        : When a new version of the app is available, it will not be pushed to devices automatically.
    5. For
      iOS
       devices, to assign per-app VPN settings to an app or an app group, in the
      Per app VPN
       drop-down list, select the settings to associate with the app or app group.
    6. If you assign an
      iOS
       or
      OS X
       app, choose the appropriate value in the
      Target
       drop-down list:
      • Work
        : The app is installed as a work app that you manage with
        UEM
        .
      • Personal
        :
        • If it is not a VPP app, the app is managed by
          UEM
           and a “personal” label is associated with the assigned app in the management console. The personal label does not impact how the app is managed on devices.
        • If it is a VPP app with the
          Disposition
           set to Optional, the user will be redirected to the
          App Store
           to install the app as unmanaged. Unmanaged apps cannot be removed from devices by
          UEM
           and are not subject to
          UEM
           controls such as IT policy rules. When you set the app assignment as Optional and Personal, you are prompted to assign the appropriate VPP user license to devices so it can be treated as an unmanaged app. You must set “Assign license to” to “User” to make it an unmanaged app.
    7. If available, in the
      App configuration
       drop-down list, click the app configuration that you want to assign to the app.
    8. Click

      .

    Save
    .
