Adding Signal Policy Actions

Procedure

  1. In the Actions step of the Signal wizard, click Add Action. You can add several actions that will execute when the conditions in your policy are met.
    Note: If you create a policy that features two condition groups where ANY of the two condition groups can be true for the policy to trigger (for example: Managed Devices battery percentage less than 50% ), the platform agnostic actions such as Send Email or Trigger Alert will be triggered any time the policy is evaluated to be true. Device-specific actions such as Send Script or Send Message will only trigger for the Managed Devices condition group which was evaluated to be true.

    If there are two or more Managed Devices condition groups added to a policy where ANY of the condition groups can be true for the policy to trigger, device-specific actions will only trigger on devices in the targeted device group(s) belonging to the condition group which was evaluated to be true. The other condition groups are excluded from getting the action(s).

  2. Select one of the following actions from the Action drop-down list:
    OptionDescription
    Send Script
    Note: this selection is only applicable for conditions that include Managed Devices.

    Allows you to send the following types of scripts to devices when the action is triggered:

    • Legacy
    • JavaScript
    • PowerShell 32-bit Compatibility
    • PowerShell Native
    Choose the specific script from the Execute Following Script drop-down list, then select the method of delivery for the script.
    Note: The Execute Following Script drop-down list is populated from the Manage Scripts dialog box, where scripts you have used and saved in the past are stored. See Manage Scripts and Sending Scripts to Devices for more information.
    Send Email

    Sends an email alert to recipients that the policy is triggered. Add multiple email contacts to the To, CC and BCC fields by separating the addresses with ; and no space between.

    Use the Signal macro button Macro button in the Subject and Message text fields to add dynamic information such as Device ID or Policy Name to the email.
    Send Message

    Sends a message directly to devices that the policy is triggered. You can limit the Display Duration of the message on the devices and designate a Type of message, such as Error or Warning.
    Relocate Device

    Automatically relocates devices that triggered the policy from their current device group to one of your choice.
    Trigger Alert

    Drives an Alert to the MobiControl Notification Panel.

    Use the Signal macro button Macro button in the Alert Title and Message text fields to add dynamic information such as Device ID or Policy Name to the Alert.
    Note: The Source Names macro show the object(s) that triggered the action.
  3. Click Save to save your Action. Add additional Actions as needed.
