Profiles

The Profiles menu is central to the functioning of your devices. This is where you define all the possible configurations you may want to apply to them.

"Main" section

From the main section of the profile, you are able to:

• Name your profile
• Add a comment to that profile to inform your colleagues
• Set the sync frequency of devices (how often your devices contact the MDM)
• Define if a device should be in Production or Developer Mode

Danger

The Developer Mode, as the name indicates, should be used mostly by users who are creating Applications for your devices, in order to debug issues on the device while developing. This mode gives access to many restricted features on your device and should not be taken lightly. Usually, you should not deploy a device in this mode on the field, unless you have a very good reason to.

There are also some "Advanced settings", which you can toggle by clicking the text with said name:

• Define if Custom Identification should be set from the MDM or the Device
• Set the Language on the device (in case you have multilingual apps)
• Define if Time should be set by the device provided by the network (in which case you can set specific NTP Servers, other than the device's default ones)
• Set a specific Time Zone or let the device/network pick one

"Display & Sound" section

From this section, you are able to define:

• The Sleep interval (how long a device should retain its screen on before turning it off)
• The Stay Awake policy (how a device acts when charging)

There are also some "Advanced settings", which you can toggle by clicking the text with said name:

• Set a static Ring Volume that should be restored at each sync if modified on the device
• Upload a Boot Animation to be displayed while the device turns on (see this guide for more information).

A sub-section called Look & Feel allows you to pick which Branding Theme you want on your devices. Please refer to the Look & Feel section for more information.

"Connectivity" section

This section allows you to modify all connectivity settings on your device. They are the following:

• Wi-Fi
• Mobile Data
• NFC
• Bluetooth
• Location

"Applications" section

The Applications section, and the sub-sections below, allow you to manage:

• which Applications from your Library or from Famoco's Essential apps will be provisioned on your devices
• the Whitelists policy devices will apply
• whether you want to deploy Application Configurations or not
• the App Store you might want to present to your users

Please refer to the linked sections for more information on each of these features.
