Specifications
Devices use the Bluetooth MAP to send messages to another Bluetooth enabled device. To prevent a user from using the
Bluetooth MAP to send messages from the work space (for example, email messages and instant messages) to another
Bluetooth enabled device, you can set the "Transfer Work Messages Using Bluetooth MAP" IT policy rule to Disallow. If you
set the "Transfer Work Contacts Using Bluetooth PBAP or HFP" IT policy rule to Disallow, users cannot send work
messages to another Bluetooth enabled device using the Bluetooth MAP, regardless of what the "Transfer Work Messages
Using Bluetooth MAP" IT policy rule is set to.
By default, if the "Transfer Work Messages Using Bluetooth MAP" IT policy rule is set to Allow, a user can transfer work
messages to a Bluetooth enabled device using the Bluetooth MAP following a single password prompt to enter the work
space. If you want to require a user to unlock the work space each time the device connects to the Bluetooth enabled
device before the device can transfer work messages using the Bluetooth MAP, you can set the "Transfer Work Messages
Using Bluetooth MAP Without Prompt" IT policy rule to Disallow.
Preventing users from sharing work data on devices when sharing the
screen during BBM Video chats
By default, users can share the screen with other BBM Video chat participants during a BBM Video chat when they are in
the work space on BlackBerry Balance devices running BlackBerry 10.
If you want to prevent users from sharing work screens with other BBM Video chat participants when users share the
screen during a BBM Video chat, you can set the "Share Work Data During BBM Video Screen Sharing" IT policy rule to
Disallow. If you set this rule to Disallow, a device locks the work space when a user shares the screen during a BBM Video
chat and the user cannot unlock the work space until the screen sharing part of the BBM Video chat is complete.
Controlling voice control
By default, users can use voice control commands on BlackBerry 10 devices. To prevent users from using voice control
commands for Email and Calendar apps on devices, set the "Voice Control" IT policy rule to Disallow for Email and
Calendar. To prevent users from using any voice commands on devices, set this rule to Disallow.

Preventing users from using voice dictation within work apps on devices
By default, users can use voice dictation in all apps that support this feature on BlackBerry Balance devices running
BlackBerry 10.
If you want to prevent users from using voice dictation in work apps, you can set the "Voice Dictation in Work Apps" IT
policy rule to Disallow.
Backing up and restoring work data on devices
By default, users can back up and restore both work data and personal data that is stored on BlackBerry Balance devices
running BlackBerry 10 using BlackBerry Link. Users can restore the backed up data to devices after the device software is
updated or if issues occur that require users to restore the information. Users can restore the data to the same device or
transfer it to another device. The data is encrypted and stored on the users' computers.
If you want to prevent users from backing up and restoring apps and data that are located in the work space on devices,
you can set the "Backup and Restore Work Space" IT policy rule to Disallow. When you set this rule to Disallow, the option
to back up and restore the contents of the work space is disabled in BlackBerry Link.
