We recommend a universal generic email address such as C3Admin@[school domain] or C3Ignite@schooldomain so that AirWatch and Apple ASM can still be accessible by either the primary user, the backup/secondary user or in the case that the current administrator is no longer at a particular school, there will still be accessibility to the AirWatch and VPP portals. This will minimize downtime and avoid difficulties in future transitions. What is the web address to log into Airwatch? Visit- https://cn366.awmdm.com/ What is the web address to my VPP?

Larger apps can take up significant time and bandwidth. Pause or delay installation of larger size apps until off-school hours to minimize downtime. While it is great to have more apps on a device, the more apps on an iPad means a higher level of management to ensure students can find the applications in a timely manner. How do you pause an app installation? Pausing an app is useful when you want to temporarily pause the installation of a large app or trying to manage bandwidth concerns. When an iPad app begins downloading: ● Tap on app once and a pause symbol will appear on the center of the app. This will pause the app so you can download other apps or use your connection for other purposes.
