Administrator Guide

Conguration parameters are deployed to all devices in that group and all the subgroups, when the administrator creates and publishes the
policy.
After a conguration is published and propagated to the devices, the settings are not sent again to the devices until the administrator
makes a change. New devices that are registered, receive the conguration policy that is eective for the group to which it was registered.
This includes the parameters inherited from the global group and intermediate level groups.
Conguration policies are published immediately, and cannot be scheduled for a later time. Few policy changes, for example, display settings
may force a reboot.
Application—Application updates can be deployed from the Apps & Data tab. Applications are deployed based on the policy groups.
NOTE: Advanced application policy allows you to deploy an application to the current and all subgroups based on your
requirement.
Edge Device Manager supports standard and advanced application policies. A standard application policy allows you to install a single
application package. Advanced application policies also support execution of pre and post installation scripts that may be needed to install a
particular application.
You can congure standard and advanced application policies that can be applied automatically when a device is registered with Edge
Device Manager or when a device is moved to a new group.
Deployment of application policies and operating system images to thin clients can be scheduled immediately or later based on the device
time zone or any other specied time zone.
Inventory of devices—This option can be located by clicking the Devices tab. By default, this option displays a paginated list of all the
devices in the system. The administrator can choose to view a subset of devices by using various lter criteria, such as groups or
subgroups, device type, operating system type, status, subnet, and platform or time zone.
To navigate to the Device Details page for that device, click the device entry listed on this page. All the details of the device are displayed.
The Device Details page also displays all the conguration parameters that are applicable to that device, and also the group level at which
each parameter is applied.
This page also enables the administrators to set conguration parameters that are specic to that device by enabling the Device
Exceptions button. Parameters congured in this section override any parameters that were congured at the groups and/or global level.
Reports—Administrators can generate and view canned reports based on the predened lters. To generate canned reports, click the
Reports tab on the Portal Administration page
Mobile application—Administrator can receive alert notications and manage devices using mobile application available for the Android
devices. To download the mobile application and the quick start guide, click the Alerts and Classication tab on the Portal Administration
page.
