Locating All Devices in a Group

About this task

Locate all devices in a device group

Important: Starting with SOTI MobiControl 2026.0.0 (October 2025), we are migrationg outdoor location features from SOTI MobiControl to SOTI XSight, consolidating all GPS-based capabilities into SOTI XSight to deliver a powerful and unified location tracking experience.
Important: Without a valid SOTI XSight license, Live View functionality is limited, including showing live device positions.

Procedure

  1. Log into the SOTI MobiControl web console as administrator.
  2. From the main menu, select Devices.
    From the main menu select Devices
  3. Right-click on the device group whose device locations you want to see and select Group Details.
    Right-click on the device group and select Group Details.
  4. On the right side of the Group Details view, select the More icon and then select Live View from the dropdown list.
    Select More and then select Live View
    This opens SOTI XSight where the most recent locations of the devices in the group display on the map (see SOTI MobiControl Live View Device Action).
    View the locations of the devices in the device group in SOTI XSight
    Note: Only devices directly within the device group appear. Devices in nested groups are not included.

Results

A colored dot appears on the map for each device. Online devices are green dots. The color of offline devices varies depending on the last time SOTI MobiControl was able to gather location information for the device.

Note: Devices in close proximity appear as a cluster. Zoom in to see individual devices.
