Blueprints ensure that Workspace ONE Express users have the apps they need, email and Wi-Fi configurations to stay in touch, and security settings to keep the corporate content safe.

Blueprints are savable, editable, reusable device configurations for your organization.

Create a Blueprint

You can create Workspace ONE Express blueprints quickly and easily by following the step-by-step blueprint wizard. You can opt out of the blueprint creation process at any time. The wizard saves your progress, allowing you to pick up where you left off.

  1. From the main menu, navigate to Blueprints > List View and select the Add Blueprint button.
    • Select between Mobile (iOS/Android) and Window. Express+ Only.
  2. Complete the Name text box, which is the label that appears in the Blueprint listing.

Add Applications

After you name the blueprint, include apps so your users have access to the apps they need.

This step is optional and you can skip ahead by selecting Continue to Resources. You can select the discard apps selection at any time to return to Create a Blueprint. You can also close the entire blueprint creation session by selecting the X. Your progress is saved automatically.

  1. Select Add App.
  2. Select the Type of App to add: Add Public App, Add Web App, and Configure Office 365 (Express+ Only).
    • Add Public App

      Add an app available in any of the major app stores to your blueprint. Select among Android, Apple, and Windows Desktop.

    • Add Web App

      Add an app that links to a specific website, such as email, wiki, or online auction house.

      • You must supply the URL, Name, and App Delivery method, described in step 4.
      • When adding an application using a Google Play Store URL, additional information such as name and application icons cannot be retrieved.
      • Optionally, you can Upload Icon representing the Web app manually. Express+ users are limited to uploading icons for Android and iOS Web Apps only.
      • Android Enterprise devices must be running Android 8.0 (Oreo) or later to use Web Apps.
    • Configure Office 365 (Express+ Only)

      You must upload the XML file that contains the Office 365 configuration settings for your Windows devices (Express+ Only). You can visit config.office.com to generate an XML file that configures Office 365 to your needs.

  3. Select the Platforms and Country in which the app is used.

    This selection determines where Workspace ONE Express searches for the app.

  4. Search the applicable app stores for the apps you want to add. For Android apps from the Google Play Store, you must copy and paste the URL into the App URL field.
    • Apps from the Google Play Store for Android Enterprise must be approved before you can add them to a Blueprint.
    1. Select the green Approve button in the app listing of the Google Play Store.

      Result: A separate popup window displays containing a list of elements the app has access to.

    2. Review this access list and select Approve again to proceed and add the app to the Blueprint. Alternatively, select Cancel to deny the app from your Blueprint.
    3. If you approved the app for your Blueprint, another popup window displays containing Approval Settings and Notifications. Select the settings and notification options you want to enable and select Save to apply these settings to the app.
  5. Once you have located and approved the app, you must select how you want the app to be delivered.
    • On Demand: users download

      The user must download the app to the device. This option reduces the time it takes to push the blueprint to devices. However, it also means that the user can opt out of installing the app.

    • Automatic: system push

      The app installs when the blueprint gets pushed to devices. This option increases the time it takes to push the blueprint to devices but it means that the app installs automatically.

      Only Android and Apple offer these options. Users must download apps from the Windows Store.

  6. Select Continue to save your settings and proceed to the next step.

    You can alternatively go back and add another app type from step 2.

Add Resources

After you have added applications, you can include email and Wi-Fi configuration settings in your Workspace ONE Express blueprints, enabling users to receive email and connect to network resources. This step is optional. Select Continue to skip this section.

  1. Select Configure to complete the Email settings.
    Setting Description
    Account Name Enter the unique name of the email account, for example, Secure Corporate Email.
    Exchange ActiveSync Host Enter the domain name of the Exchange ActiveSync Host that your devices connect with to send and receive email.
    Use SSL Select to enable Secure Socket Layer for your email configuration.
    Domain

    Enter the login domain by which Workspace ONE Express recognizes the user email. The default is the {EmailDomain}, entered as a lookup value.

    A lookup value is a variable that represents the user or the device. In this case, the domain the blueprint uses to log the user in is the email domain. The advantage to using a lookup value over entering a static text domain is that users do not necessarily all have the same email domain. No matter what email domain each user uses to retrieve their email, the lookup value represents that user (or device) accurately.

    User name Enter the login user name. The default is {EmailUserName} lookup value.
    Email Address Enter the login email address. The default is {EmailAddress} lookup value.
  2. Select Configure to complete the Wi-Fi settings.
    Setting Description
    Service Set Identifier (SSID) Enter a unique identifier for the wireless access point.
    Hidden Network Select whether you want the network access point to be visible in the Wi-Fi listing.
    Auto-join Select whether you want authenticated devices to be automatically joined upon return to the Wi-Fi hot spot.
    Security Type Select the type of wireless network encryption: None, WEP (unsupported in Express+), WPA, and WPA2.
    Password

    Enter the wireless network password. Select the Show Characters check box to replace the redacted password entry and view the password as entered.

    This setting is only available when you make a Security Type selection.
