Hi everyone, 

Currently in SOTI Mobicontrol we have default setting for Update Schedule, usually it's every 2 hours, and everytime the device check in, it will looking for update and do Locate device location.

I was wondering if the device location when doing check-in can be shown to us? For now i just can check the log and see that "device located"

Is there a way to see the location?

Thanks & regards,

To get location data more readily available for display upon check-in/scheduled update, you can considering adding a data-collection rule to get location data regularly (every 2/5/10 minutes say), though there might be significant impact on the device battery life.  Of course, the location data may be a little outdated compared to the location data got if such location data collection is initiated directly right after a device check-in.

Hi Raymond, 

Thanks for answering, I already config Data Collection for the devices, but sometimes when client want to check last location of the device, what written in the log is Device Located by Check-in mechanism, not from Data collection rule.

So i was wondering if we can get the location from Check-in mechanism, that way, we can get the most recent Location of the device either from check-in or from data collection.

Thanks & regards,
