Building Signal Policy Conditions

About this task

Review the following video demonstrating how to add conditions to a signal policy.

Procedure

  1. In the Conditions tab of the Create Signal Policy panel, select Add Condition to add a condition to your first condition group.
    1. Select any of the following options from Category:
      • Managed Device: Devices enrolled in SOTI MobiControl
      • Managed Device: Devices enrolled in SOTI MobiControl
      • Management Server: Properties and events related to the SOTI MobiControl Management Server
      • Deployment Server: Properties and events related to the SOTI MobiControl Deployment Server
      • Profile: Add a profile.
      • System: Select a system.
      • Policy: Add a policy.
      • User and Group: Add user and group conditions.
      In SOTI MobiControl 2024 and later versions, you can build a condition using Custom Data for the Managed Device Category.
    2. Select a Type, which enables you to select condition Attributes based on:
      • Property: Details of devices, servers, or location zones such as Available Memory, Server Name, or Device Count (within a zone).
      • Event: Details of common events in the daily operation of devices, servers, or location zones such as SIM Card Inserted, or Deployment Server Stopped.
    3. When selecting a Property and Attribute, select an Operator (such as Starts With or Is) and enter a Value to build the condition.
      For example, you can create a condition that monitors a Managed Device with Available Memory Less than 2 GB.
    4. Select Add.
      Add your condition to the list of conditions.
    5. When creating a Managed Device category condition, select Select Device Groups to add at least one group to monitor.
  2. Repeat step 1 to add more conditions as required. Hover over the existing condition rows to edit or delete the condition.
    The Category for subsequent conditions must be the same Category as your first condition.
  3. If you add more than one condition, you can change the drop-down list, X of these conditions must be satisfied , so that X is one of the following options:
    • ALL: All the conditions listed must evaluate to be True for the Signal Policy to trigger. This sets up an AND-style condition set. For example, (Device Battery < 10% AND Device Memory < 1 GB).
    • ANY: Any of the conditions listed must evaluate to be true for the Signal Policy to trigger. This sets up an OR-style condition set. For example, (Device Battery < 10% OR Device Memory < 1 GB).
  4. Select New Group to add a new group of conditions that work together with the conditions you already added. Subsequent groups can feature different Categories.
  5. When adding more than one group of conditions, you can set the Grouped Conditions to Trigger Actions Must Include drop-down to ANY or ALL in a similar way as described in step 3.
    For example, for condition groups A, B, C, D and E::
    • Select ANY to set up an OR-style condition set between the condition groups: [(A AND B AND C) OR (D AND E)]
    • Select ALL to set up an AND-style condition set between the condition groups: [(A OR B OR C) AND (D OR E)]
  6. Select Next to add actions to your policy, as described in Adding Signal Policy Actions.
