Organize Android apps into collections

You can group approved Android apps into collections to organize your organization’s apps. For example, you can create a collection called Essentials for frequently used apps. Or, create a collection called Expenses for apps related to tracking costs, travel, and so on. If you whitelist at least one app in a collection, your users will see the collection when they open the managed Google Play store. Users won’t see apps that aren’t whitelisted. You can create up to 30 collections.
