Additional Information
Usage Times
Using the Jamf parent app will only be available from 4pm to 7:30am on weekdays as not to interfere with school work and extra curricular activities. It will be available for use on weekends and during school holidays.
Location Feature
In testing, the iPad location feature was giving inaccurate results therefore it is not configured for use.
Troubleshooting
The main cause of problems with setting restrictions on your child's iPad will be internet connectivity. Ensure that both your mobile phone and your child's iPad are connected to the internet. Internet connectivity is required for the iPad to receive restriction changes set on the Jamf Parent app.
