Assign (App Policy)

Use the Assign dialog box to choose which devices or device groups SOTI MobiControl assigns an app policy to - see Assigning App Policies. You can also assign or re-assign a policy while:

Creating a new app policy - see Creating App Policies
Editing an existing app policy - see Editing App Policies

Only the Devices tab is mandatory. You do not need to configure the Users or Filters tab if they're not applicable.

Devices

Use the Devices tab to select the devices or device groups SOTI MobiControl assigns this policy to.

When you select a device group in the left pane, the enrolled devices in that group displays in the right pane. To select or deselect individual devices, select the check box to the left of the device name.

You can select the Search icon and type a complete or partial name of the device group in the text field that appears. If the search finds matches, SOTI MobiControl replaces the initially displayed "all groups" list with the matching groups. You can return to the "all groups" list by selecting x in the search field. If the search finds no matches, the corresponding text message appears under the search field.

Users

Use the Users tab to select one or more directory service or identity provider groups that SOTI MobiControl later uses to assess which devices you want to assign the policy.

You can specify that devices belonging to a directory service or identity provider group are either included in, or excluded from, compliance policy assignment.

Filters

Use the Filters tab to further restrict which devices SOTI MobiControl assigns this policy to. Filters use the same logic as the Devices search bar to apply criteria.

Select the Add a filter field to activate it. A dropdown list appears with the extended and device properties that you can use to refine your assignment criteria.

Learn more about crafting complex filters at Searching With Properties.

Use the logical and Boolean operators to construct your filters:

Use AND to limit assignment to only those devices which meet all the criteria.
Use OR enable assignment to any device that meets at least one criterion.

Note: Not all extended or device properties are available for use with filter criteria. SOTI MobiControl does not support all filter types on all platforms.

To edit a filter, double-click it and then place your mouse cursor beside the filter value to edit the value or select the operator to edit the operator.

To remove a filter, select it and once it turns blue, selecting Delete.

Note: You can save assignment filters across profiles and policies. To save a filter, navigate to the Filters tab while assigning the profile/policy, create your filter query, and save it. You can view and manage saved filters and modify or delete them.

Important: The user needs to have Manage Saved Assignment Filter and View Saved Assignment filter permissions to use the saved filters feature. When deleting assignment filters, it is a requirement to remove them from the profiles/policies that are using them.
