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 to install the profile's content on the device:
  • Automatic: the contents of the profiles are automatically installed on the device once it receives the profile.
  • Self Serve: the device user chooses which configurations or packages to install.
Network Restrictions Specify over which networks the device can 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 to uninstall the package.

Note: This section is visible only if the profile contains a package.
Store Packages Persistently When enabled, this option stores packages persistently on the device.
Reinstall Every Update Schedule and Check-in When enabled, this option reinstalls packages on the device on every check in.
Uninstall Contents After Profile Revocation/Deletion When enabled, this option removes package contents from the device when removing or deleting the profile.
Install Date Set a date and time to install the package on the device. Choose which time standard to use: Device Time or UTC Time
Custom Package Installation Schedule Set time frames to install the packages. You can set multiple time frames. Select Add to add a time frame. Select Edit to edit an existing time frame.

Profile Deployment Actions

Specify the time and date to assign, disable or revoke the profile.

Assign Date Enable to select a date and time to assign the profile. If you also enable Delay to next update schedule, profile assignment takes place 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 to install the contents of the profile. You can set multiple time frames. Select the Add button to add a time frame.
Note: You can set both a profile assign date/time and a time frame. If the profile assign date/time does not fall within the time frame, the profile is not automatically installed. Instead, the profile is only deployed if the device checks in during the time frame and after the profile assign date has passed. The start of the time frame does 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 interrupts because a device goes offline, the download resumes from where it left off after the device comes online.

Profile Scheduling

Assign and revoke profiles from devices based on a reoccurring weekly schedule for the selected days of the week. Based on the set profile schedule, the server requests all assigned devices to check-in at the time of assignment to apply the profile. The server again requests all assigned devices to check-in at the time of revokement to remove the profile.

Start Day Specify the day of the week to assign the profile to the selected devices. Select any day of the week.
Start Time Specify the time of the day to assign the profile to the selected devices. The time zone corresponds to the server’s local time.
End Day Specify the day of the week to revoke the profile from the selected devices. Select any day of the week.
End Time Specify the time of the day to revoke the profile from the selected devices. The time zone corresponds to the server’s local time.
