How to Skip Battery Optimisation & Usage Steps on Zebra Devices

Modified on Wed, 9 Jul at 4:00 PM

The page describes how to automate the disablement of the battery optimisation for the companion app, as well as granting access to the usage data, during the enrollment process.

 

In the profile configuration tab, when the admin enables the following option:


859e6cdd-ea59-4457-9dd2-09caba76b9ea.png


He’s prompted to explicitly grant access to the usage data during the device enrollment, which adds steps to the whole process.

 

Same for the following option:

When enabled, the process is even more complicated: the user has to look for the companion app in the list of apps, then select it to disable the battery optimisation.


Fortunately, these both steps can be automated thanks to the Zebra OEMConfig app.

Please follow these steps to make the enrollment process much smoother, without losing access to the usage and advance status update features.

For the next step, make sure that the Zebra OEM integration is enabled, by going in

 

Configuration>Advanced, then toggle theShow Zebraoption on.

 

Then, open theZebratab, and create a first step namedDisable battery optimization for the companion app. Then, in this step, value the following items:

  • Power Configuration > Battery Optimization Action: selectRemove

  • Power Configuration > Remove Package Names: typeapp.wizyemm.eu.companion

This should look like this:

Then, create a second step namedGrant access to usage to the companion app, and value the following items:

  • Permission Access Configuration > Permission Access Action: selectGrant

Create a runtime profile

Duplicate the enrollment profile created in the step before, then enable the two options:

Device enrollment

Enroll the device with the first profile.

Then, when the device is enrolled and fully functional, apply the second profile.

Finally, make sure that the configuration was properly applied by checking the device application logs:

The companion app should report that the usage access has been properly allowed by the user, and that the report service is enabled.
