So I was setting up some iPads for our field team and realized they needed quick access to a some internal site. I thought about just bookmarking it, but then I remembered Web Clips are a thing. That’s when I got stuck.. wasn’t sure if I should add it under apps or policies in the management console. Anyone know the right way?

Wait, can’t you just upload the Web Clip directly in Hexnode? I thought there was a way to do it straight from the portal without messing around with policies.

Thanks for raising it! Here’s the correct process:
First, you need to add the URL to your app repository so the system recognizes it as an object.
Phase 1 : Add Web App
-
Navigate to Apps > Add Apps.
-
Select Web App.
-
Fill in the Name (how it appears on the home screen) and the URL.
-
Upload a custom Icon.
Phase 2: Deploy via Policy
Simply adding the app doesn’t push it to devices. You have to tell the devices to “pull” that app via their assigned policy.
-
Go to Policies and select your active iOS Policy.
-
Navigate to iOS > Configurations > Web Clips.
-
Click Add and select the Web App you just created from your repository.
-
Select Policy Targets > +Add Devices and choose the device.
-
Click Save.
