How to Link Profiles and Apps to Device Groups

This lesson shows how a Policy is created, implemented and measured.

Define Policy

Define Policy
  1. Give the Policy a name and.
  2. A meaningful description.
  3. If you select Active then this policy will be evaluated during policy processing, otherwise it will be ignored.
  4. We currently support two kinds of policy; an Application Set which links applications with devices and Profile Set which links profiles with devices. When you select one or other the rest of the screen will change as follows.

Select Device Groups and Profile or Application Groups

Select Device Groups and Profile or Application Groups
  1. Having selected either Application Set or Profile Set you will be presented with a list of device groups that you wish the policy to apply to.
  2. Use the control icons to select which devices you want the policy to apply to. Select a device group.
  3. Select which profiles (as in this example) or applications you want to be associated with this set of devices.
  4. Once you have completed the policy press Save.

Implement the Policy

Implement the Policy

From the policy list, right click the policy you want to implement

  1. Hover over Policy Actions.
  2. Select either Apply Policy or Check Policy.

If Desired State is NOT selected then Apply Policy and Check Policy work in exactly the same way in so far as they will identify the device with a Compliance Level of Warning if there is any deviation from the defined policy

If Desired State is selected then Apply Policy will attempt to ensure that the correct profiles and and applications are stored on the device
