A configuration defines the content, files, and settings that are distributed to a target device, as well as the end-user experience. Once created, you can apply a configuration to as many devices as you like.
Create and Customize a Configuration
The ManageXR web console enables you to manage various elements of your configuration to create curated end-user experiences. Whether building a new configuration or making edits to an existing one, the first thing you’ll need is content to deploy from your VR library.
Follow the instructions below to deploy content and fully customize your configuration(s):
Navigate to the Configurations tab
Select an existing configuration or create a new configuration
Hover over content and select the Deploy button for apps, videos, WebXR links, files, and Wi-Fi networks you'd like to add to the configuration
Click Save Changes
Deploying Wi-Fi networks to a configuration means assigning them to your device’s list of remembered networks.
If you’ve uploaded multiple versions of an app, you can select your desired version from the dropdown when deploying it to a configuration. More information about managing multiple versions of an app can be found here.
When launching WebXR links on Quest devices, you can choose between the Meta Quest Browser and the Wolvic Browser. We recommend using the Wolvic Browser for a more stable WebXR experience.
You can learn more about launching WebXR links with Wolvic here.
Customize the End User Experience
The Device Experience tab is where you can tailor the end-user interface. Three device experiences are available: Default Device Menu, Kiosk App, and ManageXR Home Screen.
Let's review what these device experiences entail:
Default Device Menu - Access your apps and files from the device's default menu. With this setting, you will see apps installed through the default system and the apps deployed via MangageXR.
Kiosk App - Select a single app to launch immediately after turning on or rebooting a device. Your device will be locked to this app and unable to access native device menus.
ManageXR Home Screen - Replace the default system menus with a customizable Home Screen, effectively locking your device to your approved apps, videos, and WebXR links. You can further organize and customize your Home Screen with various features that ManageXR offers. Learn more here.
Set Important Device Settings
In addition to deploying content and selecting your Device Experience, you can also apply specific settings to all or some of the devices in your configuration. Details about these settings and their functions can be found here.
Deploy a Configuration to your Device(s)
Now that you’ve set up a configuration, it’s time to save it and deploy it to your device(s). You can apply configurations in bulk directly from the device list page:
Navigate to the Devices tab
Select the devices to which you'd like a configuration
Click the Configuration button
Choose the configuration to deploy to the selected devices
Select Yes in the popup window to confirm the configuration for the selected devices
If you make changes to a configuration, online devices will immediately begin to sync according to those configuration updates. If a device isn't online, it will sync with the deployed configuration as soon as it comes online.
