  4. Toggle the Configuration switch to Enabled.
  5. Paste the XML configuration from above.
  6. Click Save.
  7. Navigate to the Assignment tab and assign to smart groups.
  8. Click Save & Publish.

Testing

  1. Assign to a test smart group with one or two devices.
  2. Push the app from the console or wait for the next device check-in.
  3. Open SupportID → tap the gear icon → verify Configuration Status shows Active.
  4. Confirm data points match Workspace ONE inventory data.
  5. Tap the Intelligent Hub button to verify it launches correctly.
