Customizing registration messages
The registration process is a critical part of deployment. You can customize the registration messages involved in this process by editing the registration templates. Registration templates enable you to specify content and basic formatting using HTML markup.
Ivanti EPMM sends multiple messages related to registration:
- Registration SMS
- Registration email and reminder email
- Post registration email
These messages may vary by:
- Platform
- Language
In addition, messages may vary by device type:
- Phones
- PDAs
To accommodate this range of messages:
- Separate registration templates are provided for each language/platform combination.
- Each registration template contains separate text for each registration message type.
- Each registration template contains separate text for phones and PDAs.
- For when Ivanti EPMM discovers device users that have not downloaded the MDM profile, reminder email scheduling capabilities are provided
