Finding Your Way Around the SOTI MobiControl Console

Easily manage your devices from a single location. With the SOTI MobiControl console, you can enroll, organize, and administer your devices. Familiarize yourself with the SOTI MobiControl console to take your device management to its full potential.

The SOTI MobiControl console is divided into several views, each of which handles a different aspect of device management. To move between views, open the ☰ menu in the upper left corner of the console or, in the legacy console, select a tab along the bottom.

Note: We are currently improving the user interface of the SOTI MobiControl console. During this process, there is a difference in appearance between the previous (or legacy) design and the modern (or next generation) views. Regardless of appearance, all views are fully integrated; actions performed in the next generation console are reflected in the legacy console and vice versa.

Additionally, legacy views have Platform tabs which correspond to device families such as Android Plus, Apple, or Linux. While a Platform tab is selected, you can only perform those activities which are supported by its applicable device family. For example, the content library feature is not supported on Windows CE devices and therefore the entire Content Library view disappears while the Windows Mobile/CE platform tab is selected. Other, more subtle restrictions include hidden panels or context menu options.
