Before using the KDS application, the various aspects of the system must be set up in Connect. 

KDS Application 

• The KDS application can be installed from the app catalog after the device is enrolled using AirWatch. 
• When logging into the KDS, please be sure to select the 'KDS' app and not the 'Activate' app.
• You can check the login button to determine which app is open. The KDS login button is ORANGE, while the Activate login button is GREEN.
• If the password for the KDS account is unknown or the username needs to be changed, log in to Connect and change the password or username in Accounts on the Vendor or Subvendor tab.
