How do I update a VPP app on my iPads?

Hey everyone, our school’s iPads use apps purchased through the Volume Purchase Program and suddenly one of the apps notified us that it required to be updated to continue working.

VPN trouble while using OpenVPN Connect

Policies

Select Devices within Group

I have a lot of iPads, and need to group them according to the location they are deployed. Management within the group selection is limited, and cannot select individual devices within the group. More management abilities should be available from the group instead of limiting them all to the general screen which is a mess.

Install application specific file

We use FileMaker Go on our iOS devices to access our hosted database.  In order to simplify granting users access to our hosted database and avoid having to manually enter the URL for the host on in the application on each device, we can install a file in the FileMaker Go's "Documents" folder on the iOS…
