Hello, SOTI MobiControl is not visible due to the version. It will appear after the update.

Does any other item has this flag already?

Just to say, only one item can have this flag being set.

Thanks Rafael, indeed there is an item that already had this flag set. 

In that case, what option is available if there is a need to start multiple applications at Start-up?

You need to write a script and then assign this script (via package or file sync rule) as an item to the lockdown with this flag set (this would also provide possibility to run this script manually if needed later).

If it's a javascript it would have the .js ending and look like this:

mobicontrol.app.start('start app.bundle.id.1', );
mobicontrol.app.start('start app.bundle.id.2', );
...

If it's a legacy script it would have .cmd ending and look like this:

start app.bundle.id.1
start app.bundle.id.2
...

I would prefer JS so you don't need to switch to it later because at some point legacy will be getting obsolete.
