Hi, I have created a device status rule to send an email in the Soti Surf app is not in foreground (see screenshot). I have tested with couple of devices and the rule does not get triggered at all. Can you please advise if I am doing something wrong. Other alert rules that I have configured seem to be working fine except this one. MobiControl version is 13.3.0.3217
Is there any method for limiting the installation of an Android APK Package on an Android+ device based on a detection of whether a particular application is in the foreground? It would be nice to be able to trigger the installation of a new version of an application based on the current version not being in use so that we can avoid interrupting end users. MobiControl already can detect which app is actively in the foreground as it is one of the options for Collected Data, it would be ideal to leverage that with some sort of Filter Criteria whereby you could specify something along the lines of: If com.x.y ! in foreground, then install package.
Hello all, i'm beginner with soti mobicontrol, we have mobicontrol in version 13.3.0.3454 and we have +- 700 devices under android 6.0. we have a package who contains an apk who is installed on all devices. Now, we have a new version of the apk and of course we'd like to update all devices with this new apk (package). For to do that (testing), on 1 device i've created a new package with the new apk. on this package, i have created a script who run (pre script) a command for to uninstall the apk i have put this package into a new profile, and assign this new profile to my device. that's work fine but..i've notice and it's normal i have two profil on this device !!! profile 1 with the old package profile 2 with the new package i think my procedure isn't a good way ? My question is, how i can update all my device with a proper method ? Is it possible to find a good procedure or tell me how i can delete a profile with a command perhaps ? thanks for all Christophe
Is it possible to embed a video in the lockdown screen using something like <embed src="example.mpeg" autostart="false" height="30" width="144" />
Greetings, We have at least one customer who has asked if there is any way to "black out" the remote device's display when they remote control into the device. The reason behind this is to hide things like administrative passwords when they are being typed. On certain devices, the typed character is displayed momentarily before being replaced by an asterisk when a password is being entered, and they feel that this might compromise the security of the device and/or apps. Our customers use the Android+ agent on Panasonic FZ-A2 tablets, but are looking to migrate to Android Enterprise. I have looked and cannot find any such capability within SOTI. I am open to suggestions, even if they are not within the SOTI functionality. Thanks, CraigESO SafetyPAD
Hi Every now and then we are getting to a point where we have to use the sendintent command and every time we struggle to get this right since it is written in a certain way as a script command. There is the guide for sendintent command but it would be nice to get some more examples and more detailed guide/manual for this very useful command on the android platform. Maybe also the difference when using Intent:// from a lockdown. Thanks in advance
Hi, can anyone explain me the "writeprivateprofstring" for Android Plus devices? I'm using MobiControl "14.1.3". I don't undestand the help: https://www.soti.net/mc/help/v14.1/en/scriptcmds/gsrindex.html?gsrid=reference/writeprivateprofstring.html How can I read the value from my device? Where can I find the pbd.ini on my Android device? What I have tried: "writeprivateprofstring isAllowed "Zebra Technologies" "MC18N0" "Yes" It looks like the command works but I don't know how to read the value
I've created a VPN Android+ Profile and have assigned it to a Zebra TC51 running Android Nougat enrolled in Device Administrator mode. The Profile shows as being installed. Am I missing a step here?
Is it possible to add a column on the webconsole based on a data that is not generated from the device but from the User. User will put manually these data to the console.For example:1. Asset Numbers
I saw a response in this thread briefly detailing how you can leverage the Kiosk Lockdown utility to launch a SOTI script at startup: http://discussions.soti.net/thread/what-is-the-script-command-to-pull-a-uri/ Is there any way to launch a SOTI script at startup without using the Kiosk Lockdown?
I believe the command is 'watchsettings' but i don't recall the proper syntax. Also, the script to use the pulled settings URI to activate or deactivate a setting. I haven't found either script in MobiControl's online help. What I'm trying to accomplish is a script command to turn on Usage Data Access for MobiControl on Samsung Note 8 devices since the device agent no longer requests this setting to be turned on during initial setup.
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.
is it possible to create a profile with black- and whitelists for devices with android + that you can activate to a specific time? Since we use MobiControl in schools it would be advantageous to activate those profiles for certain lessons. A function like that is already available for the application of rules but not for profiles
We have instances of configuration files stored in the JSON format instead of XML format on the device. Can we parse that data into a "Custom Data" value associated with the device so that it can be a Filter Criteria attribute?
I see an option for 'Activity Suppression' in Advanced Kiosk Settings on AE. What is it for?
