+ | A System user can use this screen to prevent an application notification based on the package name. An application with a matching package name is prevented from showing status bar notifications. Wildcards (e.g., "com.xyz.*") are allowed in specifying application package names. Specifying "*" blocks all packages from showing a notification on the status bar. The whitelist is the exception to the blacklist. If a package name matches the package name pattern in both the blacklist and whitelist, the whitelist takes priority, and the application notification can be shown. | ||

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **__Get All Apps__** | ||
+ | |||
+ | This will refresh the All Apps list which contains all the apps currently on the device. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **__Get Notification Blacklist__** | ||
+ | |||
+ | This refreshes the Blacklisted Packages list. It contains all the apps that have been blacklisted by the system user for that device. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **__Add Apps To Notifn Blacklist__** | ||
+ | |||
+ | This sends the blacklisted apps to the device. The apps are the apps selected from the all apps list. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **__Remove Apps From Notifn Blacklist__** | ||
+ | |||
+ | This sends the blacklisted apps to the device that are to be removed from the blacklist. These apps are the apps selected from the all apps list. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **__Add/remove Package Name__** | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the system user knows a package name of an app, the package name can be entered in this box. It will be added to the blacklist. | ||
+ | The * (asterisk character) can be used to specify all package names. The * is a wild card character and can be used replace other characters. | ||
+ | For example, com.abc.def.ghi could be blacklisted by entering: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * com.abc.def.ghi | ||
+ | * com.abc.def.* | ||
+ | * com.abc.* | ||
+ | |||
+ | com.abc.* would also block the following package name com.abc.xyz | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **__Clear All Whitelisted and Blacklisted Apps__** | ||
+ | |||
+ | This button will clear both lists of apps, so all apps will be able to receive notifications. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **__Whitelisting__** | ||
+ | |||
+ | The same functionality applies to whitelisting any apps, but please remember a whitelisted app is the exception to a blacklisted app. So if the same app appears in both lists, the app will be whitelisted and still recieve notifications. | ||
