Assign Profile: Options

Use this dialog box to specify profile assignment options. For a detailed procedure, refer to Assigning a Profile.

Installation

Choose the profile installation method, the device network types you want to enable for profile assignment, and the minimum device battery level for assignment.

Installation Method Choose how to install the profile's content on the device(s):
  • Automatic: Installs the profile contents as soon as the device receives them.
  • Self Serve: The device user chooses which configurations or packages to install.
Installation Priority Select the priority value for a profile to establish its precedence over other profiles during installation. This does not affect the installation of non-prioritized profiles.
Note: Value 1 is the highest and ensures that the profile installs first.
Halt Installation of Lower Priority Profiles This toggle enables administrators to halt the installation of lower priority profiles.
Note: If this profile fails to install, SOTI MobiControl halts the installation of all lower prioritized profiles.
Network Restrictions Specify the networks the device can use to download profile contents.
Minimum Battery Level Set a minimum battery level required to begin installation.

Package Options

Select options for package storage on the device, when package installation or re-installation should occur, and when to uninstall the package.

Note: This section is visible only if the profile has a package.
Store Packages Persistently When enabled, packages remain in the device's persistent storage to be re-deployed after a factory reset or a cold reboot.
Reinstall Every Update Schedule and Check-in When enabled, the device reinstalls packages based on the update schedule and each time it checks in with the server.
Uninstall Contents After Profile Revocation/Deletion When enabled, this option removes package contents from the device(s) when removing or deleting the profile.
Install Date Set a date and time for installing the package on the device. Choose which time standard to use: Device Time or UTC Time.
Custom Package Installation Schedule Set time frames for installing the packages. You can set many time frames. Select Add to add a time. Select Edit to edit an existing one.

Profile Deployment Actions

Specify the time and date to assign, disable or revoke the profile.

Assign Date Enable to select a date and time to assign the profile. If you also enable Delay to next update schedule, profile assignment takes place on the first update check-in following the assign date.
Disable Date Enable to select a date and time to disable the profile.
Revoke Date Enable to select a date and time to revoke the profile.
Custom Deployment Schedule Set time frames for installing the contents of the profile. You can set many time-frames. Select the Add button to add a time-frame.
Note: You can set a profile assign date/time and a time-frame. If the assigned date/time is outside the time-frame, the profile is not automatically installed. It deploys only if the device checks in during the time-frame and after the assign date. The time-frame start does not trigger a check-in.
Note: The download duration of packages may exceed the custom deployment time-frame based on their number and size. Downloads complete even if they exceed this time-frame. If interrupted by a device going offline, the download resumes from where it left off once the device is back online.

Profile Scheduling

Assign and revoke profiles from devices based on a recurring weekly schedule for the selected days of the week. Based on the set profile schedule, the server requests all assigned devices to check-in at the time of assignment to apply the profile. The server requests all assigned devices to check-in at the time of revocation to remove the profile.

Start Day Specify the day of the week to assign the profile to the selected devices.
Start Time Specify the time of the day to assign the profile to the selected devices.
Note: The time zone corresponds to the server’s local time.
End Day Specify the day of the week to revoke the profile from the selected devices.
End Time Specify the time of the day to revoke the profile from the selected devices.
Note: The time zone corresponds to the server’s local time.
