Hi

According to the release notes in 15.1.2 there has been added some new scripts but you did not specify what the scripts are. Could you please describe how to use these?

So I looked at the release notes for 15.1.2 and there isnt much listed there. Can you copy what you are referring to? I know the System Updates were scripted back then. And it might have been around 15.1.1 that it was introduced

V15.1.0 says this:

ew Android Enterprise Capabilities

SOTI MobiControl v15.1 adds a number of new capabilities which collectively offer administrators greater control over device operating system updates to minimize workforce interruptions, provide more diagnostic information for troubleshooting application deployments and present an improved user experience for configuring Google Play Managed Apps.

I feel your pain on this one. SOTI is generally pretty bad at documenting new capabilities like new scripts that they reference in their release notes. Their most recent Android Enterprise agent has three new features that are scripting based and yet there is no documentation or reference samples provided to explain how to actually leverage these new features.  This has always been one of my frustrations with their documentation. Put a sample in the release notes!! Update the rest of the documentation accordingly!
