Installing the Arist Comms app for existing Arist customers

The Arist Comms app can be installed now, but the functionality for Arist end users will not be available until February 18th. We highly recommend that the installation is done as soon as possible (before February 18), so your learners can start receiving content immediately after the 18th. IT teams will not need to take any new action after February 18 as long as this installation is done before then.

1. Add the Arist Comms application to the Organization.

   • Go to Microsoft Teams admin center: https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/dashboard

   • Under Teams apps, click on Manage apps, then search for "Arist"

     

   • Click on the "Arist Comms" application.

   • In the Arist Comms card, click on "Available to". On the right, change the dropdown option to either "Everyone" or "Specific users or groups".

     

2. Configure App setup policies.

   • Navigate to App setup policies, then select the policy (default: Global).

     

   • Under the "Installed apps" section, click on "Add apps", then search for "Arist comms."

     

   • Click add.

   • Scroll to the bottom, then click Save.

   ⚠️ Once saved we will have to wait for the changes to propagate, up to 1-2 days for propagating the App Setup Policy changes to all tenant members, and another 1-2 days for the install itself to take place, depending on the size of the tenant/the size of the group the App Setup Policy is assigned to.
