Step 3 – Create Workflows

Workflows are collections of settings and assets to deploy to devices.

See the Create & Edit Workflows article.

Step 3a – Create Check In Workflow

Step 3b – Create Check Out Workflow

For more information, see Basic Checkout Workflow – Android.

Step 4 – Automate the Workflows

After you create Check In and Check Out Workflows, set up your automation rules to deploy them to your devices.  For more information, see Configure Basic Checkout Automation.

Wrapping up

At the end of this you’ll be able to successfully check out and check in your Zebra device. To learn more about what else you can do, such as SSO for Epic Rover, see our documentation.
