=== Answers ===
I'm new to Workspace ONE. How can I learn more about it?
 
You can view a 58 minute video tutorial on using Workspace ONE that was recorded in September of 2020 here: <nowiki>https://vimeo.com/454498108</nowiki>.
 
 
Another training session was held in October of 2022: <nowiki>https://vimeo.com/765098366/fdf32e09cd</nowiki>.
 
How do I get an account to login to Worksapce ONE?
 
If you are just receiving iPads for the first time and you do not have a login account, please email ipads@desalesmedia.org and copy ctn@desalesmedia.org and your principal and we will create an account for you. If your school has had iPads, but someone else previously managed them, try to ask that person or your principal for the login credentials.
 
Can we have two people at our school with logins to Workspace ONE?
 
Yes. If multiple people at your school will be managing iPads, we recommend that each person have their own login account to Workspace ONE. Please email ipads@desalesmedia.org and copy ctn@desalesmedia.org and your principal and we will create an account for you.
 
I forgot my password to Workspace ONE.
 
Please email ipads@desalesmedia.org and be sure to let us know the username that you use to login to Workspace ONE.
 
What does it mean to "enroll" an iPad? What username and password should I use?
 
You enroll an iPad when you open the Hub app and login using the enrollment credentials. For most iPads, they are enrolled when they are initially deployed and their enrollment doesn't ever change. However, if you ever perform a Device Wipe, you will need to re-enroll the iPad.
 
 
Each school is assigned a four or five character abbreviation for their school name which is used in the enrollment account. For example, enrollment accounts for student iPads at Good Shepherd Catholic Academy are: GSCA-STUD001, GSCA-STUD002, GSCA-STUD003, etc. And teacher iPads are enrolled with accounts: GSCA-TEAC001, GSCA-TEAC002, GSCA-TEAC003, etc.


* This [https://vimeo.com/765098366/fdf32e09cd tutorial video] was recorded in October of 2022.  It is 45 minutes long and it describes most commonly user features in Workspace ONE.


Each enrollment account can only be used to enroll one iPad. If you try to enroll an iPad using an account that has already been used to enroll another iPad, you will receive an error which states: "The Operation couldn't be completed." If you perform a Device Wipe on an iPad, that enrollment account is "released" and can be used to enroll that same iPad or a different iPad.

In Workspace ONE, I see an iPad with STAGING in the name. What does that mean?
=== Useful Links ===


The most likely reason for this is that someone did a factory reset (either by issuing the Device Wipe command from Workspace ONE or by choosing Reset All Content and Settings from the iPad under Settings, General, Reset) and did not re-enroll the iPad. As soon as you re-enroll the iPad, the name will change to the enrollment username.

This page contains information related to iPads issued by DeSales Media Group to entities within the Diocese of Brooklyn.

Overview

  • iPads are managed by a cloud-based management system known as Workspace ONE (prior to 2018, this product was known as AirWatch).
  • Although we only use Workspace ONE to manage iPads, it can also be used to manage mobile devices from other vendors such as Google and Microsoft. Because we only use a limited subset of the features of Workspace ONE, there will be many configuration options which can be ignored.
  • iPads pull configuration changes and send status updates to Workspace ONE at regular intervals, but this can be interrupted if the iPad is in sleep mode or has no connection to the Internet. Therefore, changes are often not pushed immediately and the status information you view in Workspace ONE, will not always be accurate.
  • Because the iPads are made by Apple and Workspace ONE is made by VMware, there will be some discrepancies in how the products work together. Apple may refer to a particular feature by one name and VMware might call that feature a similar, but different name. Also, if you run into a problem and you search on Apple's support website, you will not find any information related to using Workspace ONE. However, there are hundreds of organizations that manage iPads with Workspace ONE, so if you do a Google search on an error message or other issue, you are very likely to find helpful information.
  • If you notice a mistake in any of these instructions or something doesn't make sense, please send an email to ipads@desalesmedia.org so that we can correct it.
