edMesh allows you to push Android applications to devices by using Tags. Tags help specify which devices can install the app, and you can assign apps to either home-owned, school-owned, or both types of devices. Using the self-install option, you can add the specified application to the My Catalogue section of the edMesh app on the device, letting the end-user trigger the installation.

#Note: Tags will be displayed as you add them. Click X if you want to remove a tag.
- Save Settings: Click "Add" to save the settings you have added.
Your applications will be added to the My Catalogue section of the edMesh app at the next device refresh.
