Assign Profile: Options
Use this dialog box to specify profile assignment options. For a detailed procedure, refer to Assigning a Profile.
Installation
Choose 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(s):
|
| Installation Priority | Select the priority value for a profile to establish its precedence over other
profiles during installation. This does not affect the installation
of non-prioritized profiles. Note: Value 1 is the highest and
ensures that the profile installs first. |
| Halt Installation of Lower Priority Profiles | This toggle enables administrators to halt the installation of lower priority
profiles. Note: If this profile fails to install, SOTI MobiControl halts the installation of all
lower prioritized profiles. |
| 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 re-installation should occur, and when to uninstall the package.
Note: This section is visible only if the profile has 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(s) 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 many time frames. Select Add to add a time. Select Edit to edit an existing one. |
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 many
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 requests all assigned devices to check-in at the time of revocation to remove the profile.
| Start Day | Specify the day of the week to assign the profile to the selected devices. Select 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 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. |
