Use this dialog box to specify profile assignment options. For a detailed procedure, refer to Assigning a Profile.

Installation

Select the profile installation method.

Installation Method Choose how to install the profile's content on the device(s):
  • Automatic: Installs the profile contents as soon as the device receives them.

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 for installing the contents of the profile. You can set many time-frames. Select the Add button to add a time-frame.
Note: You can set a profile assign date/time and a time-frame. If the assigned date/time is outside the time-frame, the profile is not automatically installed. It deploys only if the device checks in during the time-frame and after the assign date. The time-frame start does not trigger a check-in.
Note: The download duration of packages may exceed the custom deployment time-frame based on their number and size. Downloads complete even if they exceed this time-frame. If interrupted by a device going offline, the download resumes from where it left off once the device is back online.
