Smart Device Settings Profiles

Use a smart device profile to change settings on your smart devices, such as iPads, iPhones, and Android tablets and smart phones. A smart device profile has payloads associated with it, and each payload contains specific settings. Smart device profiles are use for both device admin payloads and Android Enterprise payloads.

If you want to manage settings for WindowsCE, Windows Mobile, Palm, or DOS devices, use an AIDC mobile device profile. For information about AIDC mobile device profiles, see AIDC Mobile Device Settings Profiles.

Settings in payloads are only sent to devices after the payloads are associated with a profile and the profile is enabled and applied to a folder. When there are multiple profiles applied to a folder that a device is in, the device can receive payloads from all of the applied profiles. However, each device can only receive one restrictions payload and one passcode payload. If there is more than one restrictions or passcode payload applied, the device will use the payload with the highest priority.

To create a smart device profile

1.Navigate to the Profiles tab.

2.Click New Profile in the Available Profiles panel.

5.To add payloads to the profile, enable the check boxes next to the payloads and click the Assign icon.

6.(Optional) To force a device to sync again after the first successful sync, select Resync. On subsequent syncs, the action is not performed unless the profile has changed.

7.(Optional) To reboot a device after the first successful sync, select Reboot device. On subsequent syncs, the action is not performed unless the profile has changed.

8.(Optional) To launch an installed app after the first successful sync, select Invoke application and enter the app ID. On subsequent syncs, the action is not performed unless the profile has changed.

9.(Optional) Use the authorized users panel to assign privileges for this profile to specific users. For more information, see Assigning Authorized Users.

10.Click Save.

The folder selected in the Navigation Tree when you create the profile will be the profile's home folder.
