Finding Your Way Around the SOTI MobiControl Console
Navigate the SOTI MobiControl web console using the sidebar to access views, administrative tools, and support options for managing your environment.
The SOTI MobiControl web console provides a sidebar that gives you
quick access to the tools needed to manage your environment. From enrolling and
organizing devices to deploying policies, generating reports, or managing certificates,
the sidebar brings all key features into a unified navigation experience. You can use
the sidebar to:
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 remains. Actions you perform in the
new console reflect in the legacy console and vice versa.
Additionally, legacy views may 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, making the entire Content Library view disappear for that platform. Other, more subtle restrictions include hidden panels or context menu options.
