MFP App

4 minute read Last updated on August 15, 2024

The Dispatcher Stratus App for Konica Minolta MFPs provides easy access to Dispatcher Stratus at the device. With Konica Minolta’s powerful cloud-based workflow automation application, you can access your workflows at the MFP without a virtual private network (VPN). This easy-to-use app includes single sign-on (SSO) with any supported third-party application, as well as multi-server support.

Note: To begin using Dispatcher Stratus or the Dispatcher Stratus App, you must have a Konica Minolta MarketPlace account.

Installing the App

Before you can use the app for workflows, you must install it on one or more registered MFPs

Installing the App Via MarketPlace

To install the app on an MFP via MarketPlace, do the following:

  1. Navigate to Konica Minolta MarketPlace (https://konicaminoltamarketplace.com)

  2. Select the person icon in the upper-right corner and enter your username and password. Then, select Login.

  3. On the right, select Apps & Licenses, then Apps to view the applications you have purchased.

  4. Scroll down to Dispatcher Stratus and select it.

  5. On the right side of the screen, the “Installed” area displays all MFPs on which the app is already installed. The “Available” area displays the registered MFPs of which you are an administrator that are available for installation. Select the box next to each MFP you want to install the app on. Then, select Install.

App

You will now be able to access your Dispatcher Stratus workflows. Only workflows that have an enabled MFP Capture collection node and are verified, running, and shared with the device are displayed. For more information, see the Workflow Management and Using the Workflow Designer pages.

App Workflows

To use a workflow, tap the workflow icon. This will allow you to access the workflow and perform any required steps that have been configured in the workflow, such as logging in to a third-party CMS for distribution, adjusting scan settings, entering additional information about the document, etc.

Settings

You can configure the application at the MFP. Do the following:

  1. At the MFP, tap the App Manager button, provide your MarketPlace credentials, and then tap the Login button. Note that if you are not an administrator for the device, you must provide the MFP Administrator password as well.

  2. In the App Manager, under the Installed tab, locate the Dispatcher Stratus listing and then tap on the Settings button on the right side of the screen. The Settings screen for the app appears.

The following settings are available:

  • Keep Logged In - To allow for single sign-on (SSO), select Yes. With this feature enabled, only a single login is required to access the app at the MFP. That is, users who authenticate at the MFP will only be required to enter their login credentials the first time they access the app. Note that users can override their individual SSO setting by accessing the application’s Settings screen. However, if you select No here, that setting becomes disabled and users cannot enable their individual SSO setting in the app itself.

  • Allow Keep Logged in For Public User - To allow the Public user to stay logged in, select Yes. Otherwise, select No.

    App Settings

Notes:

  • Once the app is installed on the device, a shortcut for the app is automatically created.

  • Tapping the “Logout” button in the upper-right corner will only log the user out of the app, not the MFP user session. To log out of the MFP user session, use the MFP’s Logout button Logout Button. Depending on the MFP model type and its capabilities, this may be a physical button and/or a soft button on the MFP touchscreen.
