Finding Your Way Around the SOTI MobiControl Console

The SOTI MobiControl web console lets you enroll, organize, and administer your devices from a single location. This help topic is going to help you familiarize yourself with the SOTI MobiControl web console so you can maximise your device management activities.

The SOTI MobiControl web console provides many tools, each of which handles a different aspect of device management. To select a tool, open the ☰ menu in the upper left corner of the console or, in the legacy console, select a tab along the bottom.

Note: SOTI updated and redesigned the web console to improve usability. If you are a long-time user, you are going to notice a difference in appearance between the earlier (or legacy) design and the modern (or next generation) views. Regardless of appearance, all functionality is fully integrated. Actions you perform in the new console reflect in the legacy console and vice versa.

Additionally, legacy views have platform tabs which correspond to device families such as Android Plus, Apple, or Linux. You can only perform actions on devices in the selected device family. For example, the Content Library feature is not supported on Windows CE devices and therefore the entire Content Library view disappears in that platform. Other, more subtle restrictions include hidden panels or context menu options.

Devices Use the Devices view to see your devices and perform actions on those devices. You can organize devices into groups, and find and filter devices based on keywords and properties. You can also gather insights about your deployment at a glance with charts, and perform various actions on selected devices.
