Understanding our clients’ requirements and market trends, it has been our continuous endeavour to innovate and add the utilities to our products, for not only the existing but for the prospective clients as well.
In a step further, we have just released Scalefusion (v2.0.0) version. The updated version which is available both on the Google PlayStore as well as on the Scalefusion Enterprise Store has features, which eases the usage and management of mobile devices in locked down mode.
The most striking feature of this version is the Notification Center, with which Scalefusion users will now get App notifications. So far, when the devices are locked down in Scalefusion, the default notification bar of the device is disabled. Users do not receive notifications for any allowed Apps. But now, in Notification Center, when the Admin enables the settings given for a particular device profile or the group profile from the Dashboard, the devices with that profile will be able to receive the notifications. But, if any of the settings are disabled, devices will get a notification at the bottom of the screen that this feature is not available. For an e.g., if the Flashlight is not enabled in a particular profile and any device belonging to that profile taps on the flashlight to turn it on, it will get a notification that this feature is not available.
User can launch the respective application by tapping on the notification itself. For an e.g. if there is an incoming call, a notification will be displayed which will have ‘Answer’ & ‘End’ buttons. When a user taps on any button, a respective action will be performed and when the user is on the call, it will show as “Call in progress”.
What is Notification Center?
Notification Center is the settings under the Profile section of Scalefusion dashboard. Admin can enable/disable the settings for the devices or the group of devices in that particular profile and accordingly the user can or cannot access it from the Notification Panel on the device(s).
