Hello Nouhara Malham,

Thankyou for posting on SOTI Pulse.

You can rename devices by importing a CSV file.

If you have multiple devices,

• Start by creating an Excel file and saving it with a .csv extension.
• Add Entries for DeviceID, Attribute Name and Value (example below)
• Save this file as .CSV extension {don’t forget to choose Save as Type All Files (*.*) when saving}
  
  
• 
  
  
• DeviceName is the Attribute name I have Chosen, any name can be used here.
• Now go to MobiControl and Add a Custom Attribute Field name same as you used in CSV File.
  
  
• You can find it under global setting—devicesetting—custom attribute (For Example DeviceName in our Example)
• Once done > Right click >View all devices and import the CSV File created above > Press OK.
  
  
• When File is successful uploaded, that Custom Attribute value should be appearing in the Device Information Panel.

Now to Rename Devices on Group Level based on device types. Send these Scripts in legacy mode.

                    For Android:
                    devrename “%CustomAttr:attribute_name%”

                    in our case --->devrename “%CustomAttr:DeviceName %”

I hope this resolves your query .
Regards,

Are they named to individual users or are they shared? How are they managed (eg. Fully managed or Work Profile). Do you have Shared Device mode configured? What mobile application are users signing into? Do you have development control over that app?
