Adding Mobile Device Custom Properties

Custom properties allow you to define specific properties that you want applied to an AIDC device. An example of a custom property would be location = Chicago. Once a custom property has been applied to a device, you can use it as a selection criterion. You can apply custom properties to mobile devices through Mobile Device Settings profiles.

To add a custom property

1.From the Profiles tab, click on the name of the Mobile Device Settings profile you want to configure.

2.Click Edit.

3.In the Properties panel, click New.
The New Property dialog box appears.

4.Type the Group, Name, and Value in the text boxes.

5.Select the Create Property option.

6.Click Save.
The property will be added when the profile is applied on the mobile device.

You also have the option to edit or remove custom properties currently existing on the device through a mobile device profile. You must know the name of the property in order to edit or remove it.

Deleting a property from a profile from the Properties Panel will not remove the property from the device. In order to remove a property from the device, you must add the property to the profile and set the action to Delete property.
