Showpad will be the only app available on the device. Even if the device is rebooted, the Showpad app will automatically re-open. Work profile vs. private profile: MDM will install all work-related apps in the work profile of a user. These will be visible on the same screen as all other apps but will be marked with an orange briefcase. When you are in a work-related context, it is possible only to pull the apps from within the work profile and hide all private apps. Corporate owned device: You can set a corporate-owned device so the user can only access work-approved apps. The user will not be able to download apps for personal use.
