Using Advanced Configurations

Advanced configurations are a set of device configurations that can perform various actions at the device and device group level. The capabilities of each advanced configuration are wide-ranging and cover scheduling check-ins, setting deployment server connections, restricting network access while roaming, and much more.

You can access the Advanced Configurations list from a device's Device Information panel or a device group's Group Information panel.

Note: Advanced configuration options differ between device types. When in the Group Information panel, select the device family from the list to see the advanced configurations available to that device family.
