Can I add a link or web clip within Self Service on iOS?

If not, are there any creative workarounds?

Not that I know of. We distribute documents to our users by using webclips. We store a file locally on our server, and just create a webclip for that file. Works great. But I agree, it is a good idea to have a Self Service area dedicated to that alone.

The main thing I'm after is a way to show VPP apps within Self Service so that users don't have two methods of retrieving apps (App Store and Self Service). Installing a web clip that appears like an app is one way I'm hoping to do this.

I've thought maybe to create a cert which puts a temporary web clip on the iPad's home screen which says, "Install Pages" and just have it point to Pages in the App Store or something like that... but that seems a bit too goofy.
