Using Packages

SOTI MobiControl uses packages to deliver applications, scripts, or files to your devices. Packages are created in the SOTI MobiControl web console or Package Studio, a free, standalone application from SOTI. See Packages for more details.

Create packages that contains the files that you want to install as well as any installation instructions for that file. You can add multiple files to a single package. The files and instructions are compressed into a single package. Compressed packages allow for faster transmission of software and data over low-speed network connections. Packages are supported on the Android Plus, Linux, Windows Mobile/CE, Windows Modern (Desktop), and Printer platforms.

Tip: Download Package Studio if required from the Packages view. Refer to Using Package Studio for specific instructions on creating packages in Package Studio and refer to Using Packages on the Web Console for instructions on creating and managing packages from within the web console.

After you create your package, you can send it to your devices using a profile. You can also see detailed information about your package by opening its Package Information panel.
