Using Advanced Configurations

Advanced configurations are a set of device configurations that can perform a variety of actions at the device and device group level. The capabilities of each advanced configuration are wide ranging and cover scheduling check-ins to setting deployment server connections to restricting network access while roaming and much more.

You can access the list of advanced configurations from a device's Device Information panel or from a device group's Group Information panel.

Not all advanced configurations are available for every device type. In the Group Information panel, you must select the device family from the dropdown list to see the advanced configurations available to that device family.
