Assign Profile: Options

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

Installation

Select 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 the profile's content are installed on the device:
  • Automatic: the contents of the profiles are automatically installed on the device once the profile is received.
  • Self Serve: the device user chooses which configurations or packages to install.
Network Restrictions Specify over which networks the device is allowed to download the contents of the profile.
Minimum Battery Level Set the minimum battery level a device must exceed before it can begin profile installation.

Package Options

Select options for package storage on the device, when package installation or reinstallation should occur, and when the package should be uninstalled.

Note: This section is visible only if the profile contains a package.
Store Packages Persistently When enabled, packages are stored persistently on the device
Reinstall Every Update Schedule and Check-in When enabled, packages are reinstalled on the device on every check in.
Uninstall Contents After Profile Revocation/Deletion When enabled, package contents are removed from the device when the profile is removed or deleted.
Install Date Set a date and time for the package to be installed on the device. Choose which time standard to use: Device Time or UTC Time
Custom Package Installation Schedule Set time frames during which packages can be installed. You can set multiple time frames. Click Add to add a time frame. Click Edit to edit an existing time frame.

Profile Scheduled Actions

Specify the time and date on which the profile will be assigned, disabled, or revoked.

Assign Date Enable to select a date and time to assign the profile. If you also enable Delay to next update schedule, the profile will be assigned 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 during which the contents of the profile can be installed. You can set multiple time frames. Click the Add button to add a time frame.
Note: If you set both a profile assign date/time and a time frame, and the profile assign date/time does not fall within the time frame, the profile will not be automatically installed. Instead, the profile will only be deployed if the device checks in during the time frame and after the profile assign date has passed. The start of the time frame will not automatically trigger a check in.
Note: Depending on the number and size of the packages contained within a profile, the download duration of a few packages may exceed the custom deployment time frame. For example, when you trigger a package download, the package downloads completely, even if it exceeds the custom deployment time frame. Also, if a package download is interrupted when a device goes offline, the download resumes from where it left off after the device comes online.
