Wearables
Allow wearables
This setting specifies whether 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps can be used on a wearable device. If you select this rule, specify the how much time must elapse before the wearable device is disconnected and whether the wearable can reconnect automatically.
App authentication delegation
You can designate a 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 app to act as the authentication delegate on behalf of other other 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps so that users do not have to create a password for each 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 app that they install. After an authentication delegate is configured, each time a user opens a 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 app, the device displays the password screen for the authentication delegate instead of the app that they are attempting to open. After the user enters the password for the authentication delegate, the user can open the 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 app. 
You can choose any app to be the authentication delegate for other apps, but it is recommended that you choose your most commonly used app to be the primary authentication delegate to provide the most seamless experience for the user.
As a best practice, it is recommended that you set only one authentication delegate. This prevents unnecessarily complex and undesirable authentication delegate switching and simplifies administrative management. If a user accidentally deletes the authentication delegate, they must reinstall it. If more than one authentication delegate is required, for example, the primary authentication delegate does not exist for a given platform and an alternate delegate is configured, refer to the following recommendations to make sure that 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps are successfully installed and activated:
  • Users should always install the primary authentication delegate first and they should not activate it using an already installed, alternate authentication delegate app.
  • If the user already has an alternate authentication delegate installed and in use, and then later installs the primary authentication delegate, they need to make sure that the existing, installed authentication delegate is in an unlocked state to successfully complete the authentication. If the alternate authentication delegate has been force closed, the user will encounter various errors and may be blocked. 
  • Users must not delete the currently installed authentication delegate after they install their primary authentication delegate.  Apps that are currently using that authentication delegate will need to automatically switch to the new authentication delegate when the app is next launched in online mode. 
  • If the primary authentication delegate is deleted, users should reactivate the authentication delegate using an access key. If they attempt to activate the authentication delegate with any other app, it may cause various errors. 
  • Even if the option to 'allow self authentication' is selected, or if an app that is designated as a secondary or tertiary authentication delegate is installed, there is no fallback mechanism to allow apps to change the authentication delegate without the original authentication delegate being installed and unlocked.

BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps into

Agreement
Enable an agreement message for 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps
This setting specifies whether to display a message in 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps that the user must acknowledge. If authentication delegation is enabled, the message is displayed only in the authenticator app. If you select this rule, complete the following actions:
  • Specify if the message is displayed each time the app is unlocked, otherwise the message is only displayed the first time the user opens the app.
  • In the 
    Message
     field, create the message that you want to display.
    On 
    Android
     devices, only the first 4000 characters are displayed.
