Using Macros in SOTI MobiControl
Use macros to automatically pull information from your devices and input it as a value into SOTI MobiControl.
For example, during enrollment, instruct SOTI MobiControl to name your devices according to device specific data, such as the IMEI numbers or MAC addresses.
Use macros in various places throughout the SOTI MobiControl console, such as device naming during enrollment, within specific profile configurations, and other device configurations or tracking actions.
Available Macros
SOTI MobiControl supports several macros. However, not every macro is available for every situation or for every device type. Supported macros for a particular situation display in the macros drop-down list beside the relevant field.
