To create a profile:

Procedure

  1. In the console, click the main menu button and select Profiles from the dropdown menu to enter the Profiles view.

    You can only create profiles for a single platform at a time.
  3. In the Add Profile dialog box, enter a name and description for your profile.
    The name and description will be visible to the device user.
  4. Some platforms have device sub-types. If applicable, select the type of device from the Type dropdown list.
    • Android Plus contains Android Enterprise, Samsung KNOX, and Android Plus
    • Apple contains iOS, macOS User Profile, and macOS Device Profile
    • Windows Modern contains Windows Phone, Windows Desktop, and Windows HoloLens

Continue to the next step if you're using packages. Otherwise, skip to the final step.
