App Sharing allows you to upload an app once and then share it with other organizations. This is particularly useful if:
You manage several organizations that share the use of certain apps or
You are a software vendor who would like to share an app with ManageXR users but wants to avoid sending APK files to all of your customers.
Sharing apps between organizations requires the use of Release Channels. Read our Release Channel Documentation to learn more about creating release channels.
Share Apps with Your Other Organizations
To share an app with your other organizations:
Navigate to your App's page
If you haven't already, create a release channel for your App
Click Share next to the release channel you want to share
Click on the organizations you'd like to share with
Click Save Changes
This app will now appear in the Shared Apps section of your other organization's Apps page.
Share Apps with External Organizations
You can share an app with an organization you don't belong to using a Share Code.
To generate a Share Code:
Navigate to your App's page
If you haven't already, create a release channel for your App
Click Share next to the release channel you want to share
Click + New Share Code.
By default, share codes can only be used once. With single-use share codes, you must generate a new code for each organization you share your app with. You can convert a share code to multi-use to use the same code for many organizations by clicking the checkbox under the Multi-use column when generating your share code.
Click the share code to copy it to your clipboard.
Now, share this code with a ManageXR user so that they can add the app to their organization. Follow these instructions for adding a shared app to your organization using a share code.
Whenever any organization redeems your share code, all users with content privileges (App and file management) will receive an email notification. The notification tells you which organization on ManageXR redeemed the share code and the names of the associated Apps/release channel.
App Sharing Analytics
You can see the organizations you've shared your application with and how many devices it is deployed to by visiting the Release Channel:
