Global settings#

Introduction#

The 'settings' page gives you access to shared properties that will be applied to all devices.

As always these will only ever be applied when prompted by the user.

Timezone#

For vessels that are regularly sailing between countries, timezones are both the most frequent configuration change, and the one that's most tedious to apply manually across all the iPads on board.

WingMDM allows you to track and update your timezone from one central dashboard.

To speed up searching for the right timezone, you can specify your preferred timezones. This can include any timezones frequently visited, as well as any timezones you expect to pass through on upcoming trips.

  1. Go to the settings page
  2. Under 'timezones', select either the 'map' option or the dropdown list
  3. Add each relevant timezone in turn
  4. Finally, make sure to select 'save' to commit your changes

From the devices page, you can now select your current timezone from the top-left dropdown menu.

Default apps#

WingMDM allows you to disable the default apps that come with your iPads, and start from a clean slate.

You have two options:

  • Disable all default apps (not including the App Store)
  • Choose which default apps to disable

In both cases the choice will be pushed to all devices.

Apps can be selectively re-enabled for specific devices from the 'Apps' page - see Adding default apps for more details.
