Device Management is one of nine sections of the overall Admin Guide for Mobile Device Manager. The following is the complete list of MDM Admin Guide components:
• MDM Overview and Setup • Device Management • Profile Management • Geofencing • Application Management • Content Management • Email Management • Telecom Management • Reports and Alerts
DEVICE MANAGEMENT
OVERVIEW
Smart device management is centralized in the Admin Console. From the console, the administrator is able to leverage the following MDM features:
• Customize comprehensive asset tracking in the form of real-‐time device data across the mobile fleet, regardless of device type, carrier, or location.
• Navigate an interactive dashboard of mobile and telecom data to help the organization make more informed decisions based on actual mobile telecom usage.
• Perform remote actions on devices. • Generate a custom library of reports.
• Enable proactive alerts for both users and administrators when predetermined thresholds are reached.
The following sections describe how administrators can leverage the specific pages within the Admin Console to effectively and efficiently manage smart devices.
DASHBOARD NAVIGATION
The Dashboard page centralizes smart device monitoring by giving administrators high-‐level views of their entire fleet of mobile devices with the ability to drill down to the individual device level.
Administrators can see an overview of graphics and statistics for a particular location group, an entire device fleet, or quickly locate information on a specific device by clicking the Friendly Name highlighted in blue.
Location Group Sidebar
The Location Group Sidebar on the left of the screen allows administrators to view devices belonging to specific location groups, as well as all of its children groups. Administrators can also use the Search field to find specific location groups:
• Expandable Tree Structure – Find location groups and show lineage from parent to children groups. • Search Box – Search for specific location groups by name, partial name, or keyword.
• Expand / Collapse Feature—Fully expand or collapse the location group hierarchy. • Pin Feature – Pin the location group sidebar back onto the Dashboard sidebar.
Dashboard Views
There are also several views available from the Dashboard page, which enable administrators to view entire listings of devices based on each of the following metrics:
• Asset Tracking – View devices based on ownership type, platform, and last seen metrics. • Device Compliance – View devices based on their device rules compliance status, passcode
policy compliance, and data encryption status.
• Enrollment Status – View devices and track the complete enrollment lifecycle from registration to end-‐of-‐life, as well as identify devices that are pending a device wipe.
• Email Management – View status of devices that attempt to gain corporate email access through the Secure Email Gateway.
Advanced Views
There are also several Advanced views available that give administrators the ability to view entire listings of devices based on each of the metrics listed below:
• Device Groups – View all devices, statistics (i.e., total number of devices per group and percent of devices in that group), and other information explained in greater depth in Device Groups.
Graphical Portlets
The Graphical Portlets on the Dashboard page provide relevant statistics, as well as an easy way to select a group of devices according to a number of categories.
For example, the Asset Tracking default screen graphically represents Device Ownership, Platforms, and Last Seen data above the grid. The two icons in the right corner of the graphical representation box – when clicked, they display data graphically or in a textual table. To toggle between graphical and textual representation of data, do the following:
• Click the Pie Chart icon to view the data graphically (pie or bar chart). • Click the Data Group icon to view data in a textual table.
• While in textual mode, click any Data Group and the grid below begins to reload and display the information based on that specific data group. This feature is only available in this mode.
DYNAMIC DEVICE LIST
The Dynamic Device List on the Dashboard page contains a flexible list of devices and associated metrics that pertain to each view:
There are several ways for an administrator to select, order, identify, find, filter (etc.) specific devices from the Dynamic Device List page:
• Select any of the Available Views. For example, graphical, or textual tables shown above the grid. • Click any of the Data Groups from the Graphical Portlets.
For example, when in textual table format, click any line item to display data. • Click any of the Column Categories to re-‐sort the list.
For example, clicking Last Seen re-‐sorts the grid to either the oldest or latest seen devices. • On the top, right side of the grid, there are four more icons that provide additional sort, search,
export, and display tools that perform in the following ways:
o Change any one of the three graphical (e.g., pie chart) representations of data (portlets) above the grid from graphical to a textual table and the result is the Filter drop-‐down changes to represent your selection, as shown in the examples below:
o Enter in the Filter Grid field any keyword and then press <Enter>.
The result is the grid re-‐sorts and only displays those devices that contain the keyword(s) you entered, as shown in the example below:
o Click the Refresh icon to display the default Available Columns layout and all device data based on any search criteria in the Filter drop-‐down and Filter Grid field, as shown below:
o Click the Export All icon and the data in the grid exports into an Excel spreadsheet,
as shown in the example below:
o Click the Hide Chart icon to hide all graphical and textual table portlet data, so that
only the grid displays.
o Click the Tools icon to display Available Columns, which you can use to customize device data that displays in the grid. The example below displays when in the Asset Tracking view. The Available Columns change depending on the Dashboard view selected.

The administrator can further track device events through the following actions available on this view: 1. Click [Refresh Data] to instantly update the Event Log.
2. With certain even types, administrators can also view more detailed event data by clicking the
Event Data link in the right-‐hand column.
3. Type an event keyword into the Search Filter to filter the event log according to a type of event (for example, security events).
4. Additionally, the administrator can configure Syslog integration on the Syslog settings page (located in Configuration ► System Settings ► Admin ► Event Log).
End-User Self-Service
The Self-‐Service Portal allows end-‐users to remotely monitor and manage their smart devices. The Self-‐ Service Portal gives administrators the ability to view relevant device information for any of their enrolled devices and to perform remote actions such as clear passcode, lock device, or device wipe.
Enabling the Self-‐Service Portal
End-‐users of iOS and Android devices can access the Self-‐Service Portal directly from their device. • Allowing managed devices to access the Self-‐Service Portal simplifies the administrative
experience by allowing end-‐users to:
o View important compliance information. o Download optional profiles.
o Manage multiple devices on one device from the Self-‐Service Portal.
For end-‐users to access the Self-‐Service Portal from their device, the administrator must first deploy a Web Clip (iOS) or bookmark (Android) profile containing the Self-‐Service Portal web-‐based application URL.
For Android Devices:
1. Navigate to Profiles & Policies ► Profiles. 2. Select [Add].
3. Enter in Basic Profile Information in the General Settings. 4. Select the device platform.
5. Name the profile.
For Example: Self-‐Service Portal Web Clip for iOS Devices.
6. Specify root location groups to manage the profile and be assigned the profile. 7. You may also specify User Groups to which to deploy the profile.
8. Select the Web Clip (iOS) or Bookmark (Android) icon on the left sidebar.
9. Enter in the Profile Information.
For iOS Devices:
1. Navigate to System Settings ► Device ► Agent Setting. 2. Check the Self-‐Service Enabled box.
• Label – The text displayed beneath the Web Clip icon on an end-‐user’s device.
o For example, Self-‐Service Portal.
• URL – The URL that the Web Clip will display.
o This field supports lookup values so that the administrator can more easily configure the custom SSP URL.
• Removable – Check the box to allow the end-‐user to remove the SSP web clip. • Icon − To add a custom icon, select a graphic file in .gif, .jpg, or .png format.
o For best results, provide a square image no larger than 400 pixels on each side and less than 1 MB in size when uncompressed. The graphic will be automatically scaled and cropped to fit, if necessary and converted to .png format. Web clip icons are 104 x 104 pixels for devices with a Retina display or 57 x 57 pixels for all other devices.
3. When complete, click [Save and Publish] to immediately send the profile to all appropriate devices.
Privacy Settings NOTE: Access to information and Remote Actions in the Self-‐Service Portal is
determined by both Privacy settings (Configuration ► System Settings ► Device► General► Privacy) and Role settings (Users ► Admin Accounts). If multiple settings are in place, the strictest policy is enforced.
Retiring a Device
In the event that a device must be removed from mobile device management, there are several possible methods to unenroll the device from different sources.
• Automatic Unenrollment – The Compliance Engine can be configured so that when devices do not comply with Application or Device compliance policies, they are automatically unenrolled from mobile device management.
• Administrative Unenrollment – Administrators can also unenroll devices over the air in one of two ways:
o The administrator may manually perform an Enterprise Wipe from the Device
Dashboard page or the Device Details page.
o An administrator may also set up the MDM environment to automatically perform an
Enterprise wipe on the devices of deactivated users. The administrator must first make sure the Default Action for Inactive Users is set to Enterprise Wipe Currently Enrolled
Devices. This can be done from the Enrollment page (Configuration ► System Settings ► Device ► General ► Enrollment). Once this has been configured:
§ The admin can manually deactivate users by navigating to Administration ►
User Accounts, checking the user accounts, and then clicking the Deactivate link
at the top. This will unenroll all devices under that user.
§ If AD/LDAP has been integrated with the MDM environment, any users that are deactivated/removed from AD/LDAP will automatically be deactivated from the MDM environment, thus causing their device(s) to be automatically unenrolled. o End-‐User Unenrollment – If an end-‐user decides to opt out of corporate mobile device
management, then they can initiate the unenrollment process from their own devices. Although the process is different for each manageable platform, the general process involves removing the administrative privileges of MDM and removing any agents from the device.
BYOD CONFIGURATION BEST PRACTICES
An increasing number of corporations are implementing BYOD programs, and it is easy to configure MDM settings to take into account device ownership type when deploying profiles, restrictions, compliance policies, and other important settings. The following configurations are recommended for BYOD deployments:
Assign Profiles and Policies by Ownership Type
• Leverage the Ownership field when specifying the assignment criteria for applications, profiles, content, and compliance policies to ensure that employee-‐owned devices receive fewer restrictions than corporate-‐dedicated devices.
Configure Privacy Settings
Configure the Privacy settings (System Settings ► Device ► General ► Privacy) to protect the personal data of your employees:
• Disable the ability to issue a full device wipe on personal devices:
Isolate Corporate Content
Use the Secure Content Locker to isolate and protect corporate content on personal devices. The following settings enforce maximum restrictions for content:
• Allow Online viewing only • Force encryption
• Disable Open in Email
• Disable Open in Third Party Application
KEEP IN MIND…
• Before performing remote actions on a device, take into account the device ownership type. • The administrator may also want to use privacy settings (specified in Configuration ► System
Settings ► Device ► General ► Privacy) and role permissions (specified in Users ► Admin Accounts ► Roles) to restrict lower-‐tier administrator access to employee-‐owned device data.
