Smart Navigation of UEM via Shortcuts

Ok so we all know how to create shortcuts, or at least I hope we do…

Workspace ONE UEM console uses a mix of POST and GET requests to navigate around.

GET’s are great, you can easily see and manipulate the URL to get the result you want, POST however hides the variables so its harder to manipulate.

So how do we find the info we need to construct an GET request to create a shortcut to do a thing?

Here is an example of how to create one for Categories in Native Apps.

Firstly you will want to open up the developer console and then select the app category you want:

If you hover over the request once you select the category you can see the request sent to UEM. For our example, we just wanted to filter for the AV category, which we can see uses the key of Category and its value is 10183.

So simply, our URL becomes: https://cn1016.awmdm.com/AirWatch/#/Apps/List/Internal?provisioningEnabled=False&Category=10183

Another handy one is common device searches, this is the default view:

We can search by adding SearchText, now in this example things are a little different. In our first example we already had provisioningEnabled as a seach key, which mean to add a secondkey we could use & to add in another search key. If there are none then the frist search key starts with a ?, and we also need to use the Search URL.

Hopefully those few tips will help you build up some shortcuts to help you navigate faster.

Just a word of warning, VMWare have changed URLs before, and have NOT removed the old ones, this has caused things to appear to work that do not. So it doesn’t hurt to test that your shortcuts work as expected after a Console upgrade.
