# External Configuration Support

This Support Application feature enables loading configurations from Play Store Managed Configurations and Intent Actions.

## Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

Support Application typically gets its configuration from the BlueFletch Launcher or from configuration files loaded onto the device via an MDM. In version 5.13.8, the Support Application now provides two additional methods for loading configurations: Play Store Managed Configurations and Intent Actions. With External Configuration Support, Support Application can store configurations within application data storage.

## User Guide

To use Play Store Managed Configurations, you need to add the following fields to the application's Play Store listing:

* configUrl: A URL referencing the desired configuration.
* configChecksum: A configuration file checksum. This field is optional.

To use Intent Actions, you need to create an Intent Action with the action name com.bluefletch.support.config.ACTION\_LOAD\_CONFIG. The Intent Action should have the following extras:

* url: A URL referencing the desired configuration. This is required.
* org\_id: The organization ID as found in the BlueFletch Portal. This is required.

## Feature Configuration <a href="#managed-configuration" id="managed-configuration"></a>

To set up External Configuration Support for a particular device profile or device group, please follow the steps below:

### Configuring with ADB Command

To enable Support Application to download the configuration file from the specified URL, you need to specify the intent action, the package name, and extra strings that will be passed to the intent. In the example below, com.bluefletch.ems.support.ACTION\_DOWNLOAD\_CONFIG is the intent action and com.bluefletch.ems.support is the package name.

```json
adb shell am broadcast -a com.bluefletch.ems.support.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_CONFIG -p com.bluefletch.ems.support --es url https://somewhere.com/config.json --es org_id organizationId
```

### **Configuring with AirWatch Command**

```json
mode=explicit,action=com.bluefletch.ems.support.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_CONFIG,package=com.bluefletch.ems.support,extraString=url=https://somewhere.com/config.json,extraString=org_id=organizationId,broadcast=false
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.bluefletch.com/bluefletch-enterprise/product-guides/support-application/features/external-configuration-support.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
