    Enable Web Filtering / Whitelist Solved Locked

    Is the Web Filtering / Whitelist feature only available when using the Webroot SecureWeb Browser application and only if it's a managed application (installed via the Play Store)? I've followed these instructions but when it comes to adding the actual web filter, I can't find it! They say: To enable the Android Web Filter, right click a group or a single Android device, click Device Configuration. After the Device Configuration dialog appears, click Web Filter But I do not get this option: Doing some more reading, I found mention of an Android For Work Web Filter, but having followed those instructions, I still don't have the option available:

    Zebra Android OS Update Options

    What is your preferred MobiControl driven OS / Firmware update method for Zebra Android devices, and why? I am trying to validate the best deployment strategy given the regular release of Lifeguard updates, sometimes in the 30-50MB range, and the occasional release of full size updates in the 200-300MB range. I am considering multiple aspects including, but not limited to, minimizing impact to the network and minimizing impact to the end users. Do you have users self-serve the update? Do you schedule them to all occur at the same time? Do you preload the update files and then execute the installation separately? Delivery Mechanism Options - File Sync Rule - Package - MX Profile that points to an FTP server or other download location. - Other? Application Mechanism Options - install_system_update as a post install script in the package - install_system_update as a standalone script applied on demand - install_system_update in a script in a package that is applied via a Self-Serve package - MX profile for applying the OS update applied as a package - Zebra custom app for applying OS Updates.  - Other?

    Best method to push out 5GB worth of files to Android tablet rollout from MobiControl Cloud

    Hi all, We are currently rolling out 18x Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (running Android 7.0) to our drivers. The main purpose of these devices is to allow our drivers to use an app called PTV Navigator. This app has a bunch of additional content it uses such as maps, voice speakers and other assorted maps. I have been able to successfully push out all the necessary packages for the PTV Navigator to work EXCEPT all of the maps.In total, the maps files are around 5GB in size and is taking around 4-5 hours to push and install on the tablets via the MobiControl Cloud service. The map files are absolutely necessary for PTV Navigator to work, otherwise it defeats the purpose. My question is, what is the most efficient and quickest way to get these map files onto the device? Keeping in mind there will be map upgrades in the future that will also need to be pushed to the tablets.What I have tried: 1) Pushing the map files through MobiControl Cloud takes around 4-5 hours as previously stated. 2) Copy the map files from the SD card to internal storage using a script and then push out a profile with the same files. I would think MobiControl would automatically recongise the files are already on the tablet, so it would just mark the profile as "Installed". This is not the case as according to SOTI support, it does not have any hash or checksum on the files and only reads the last modified date. 3) Attempted to force PTV Navigator to read the map files from the SD card and then later on swap out the SD card with updated maps. PTV Navigator is refusing to read maps stored on SD card. 4) Use an app called AndSMB to copy the map files from a local NAS, but this was super slow as well! Please help with this enquiry. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. B

    Are they any other Mobicontrol actions possible to be used from the kiosk mode (Lockdown) ?

    From the Mobicontrol Online help, under the section "Android+ Device Lockdown" I realized that it is possible to create a link and give access to users for executing Mobicontrol action: - action:// - Executes a MobiControl action. To change the device password, use action://CHANGE_DEVICE_PASSWORD. To configure WiFi, use action://CONFIGURE_WIFI. is there any other action that can be used, I could not find any more information from the Online help.

    Why is location data not collected when GPS is enforced on through Feature Control profile?

    Sometimes when customers want to collect the location history of devices, they enforce the location service on by ticking the box in Feature Control. But after some time into doing that, they may find none of the location data has been collected on some devices.
