Kony Management User Guide: App Management > Enterprise Stores

Enterprise Stores

An enterprise store allows you to define and use a branding set for your users and groups. You can define the required branding based on your specific requirements.

Important: Ensure that you upgrade to Enterprise Store of V8 GA release before upgrading your iOS device to iOS 11. If you upgrade to iOS 11 before upgrading the enterprise store, kill the enterprise store and download it again using your enterprise store download URL.

An administrator can assign any of the branding set to any user or group in Kony Management server.

The Enterprise Store helps you to create a clone of an existing Enterprise Store app, apply a separate branding set, and then target it to a specific set of users/groups.

From the App Management section, click Enterprise Stores from the left panel. The Enterprise Stores page appears. This page displays a list of enterprise stores along with their versions and other information such as branding set, targets, and priority.

The Enterprise Stores view displays the following columns:

 Columns Description
