Enabling Location Services
There are two ways to enable Location Services on your devices: manually after a deployment, or by restoring from a backup via a custom workflow.
Enable Locations Services Manually
To enable Locations Services manually:
-
Create a new Workflow. It must contain an action that will enable Supervision Options to be selected. For example, adding a Set Name action to a Workflow will automatically supervise the device.
-
Under the Supervise action, click Options and select Locations Services from Show Setup Screens.
-
Deploy the Workflow.
-
Your device will not skip the Location Services set-up screen, allowing you to manually enable this feature.
Enable Location Services from a Backup

-
Configure your device master and turn on Location Services under Privacy > Location Services.
-
Create a backup of the device master by following the instructions here. You can also use the backup included in Mobile Access Management’s built in Demonstration Workflow.
-
Create a new Workflow, upload your backup and click Save. You do not need to modify any settings under Supervision Options in your workflow.
-
Deploy the Workflow and your device will automatically have this setting enabled.
