Chapter 12: Device Profiles

For example, you can define geofence areas for each of your organization's offices and then add a Restrictions payload that disallows access to the Game Center, multiplayer gaming, YouTube content based on ratings, and other settings.

Once activated, the employees of the organization group to whom the profile was applied will no longer have access to these functions while in the office.

1. Navigate to Devices > Profiles > List View > Add and select platform.

2. SelectInstall only on devices inside selected areas on the General tab. An Assigned Geofence Areas box displays. If no Geofence Area has been defined, the menu directs you back to the Geofence Area creation menu.

3. Enter one or multiple Geofencing areas to this profile.

4. Configure a payload such as Passcode, Restrictions, or Wi-Fi that you want to apply only while devices are inside the selected geofencing areas.

5. Select Save & Publish.

In the event that a user manually disables location services on their iOS device, AirWatch can no longer collect location updates and considers the device to be in the location where services were disabled.

Time Schedules

Time Schedules enable you to control when each device profile is active. Configure and apply time schedules to restrict when profiles are active on the device. Applying time schedules to profiles secures your corporate resources by only allowing employees access during the specific days and time frames. Conversely, applying time schedules can also limit personal content and access during work hours.

Once the time schedule is activated, the employees of the organization group to whom the profile was applied will no longer have access to these functions during the specified times.

Enabling a Time Schedule is a two-step process:

Defining a Time Schedule

Applying a Time Schedule to a Profile

Defining Time Schedules

You must define a time schedule before applying it to a device profile. To create a time schedule:

1. Navigate to Devices > Profiles > Profile Settings > Time Schedules.

2. Select Add Schedule to launch the Add Schedule window.

3. Enter a name for the schedule in the Schedule Name field.

4. Select the applicable Time Zone using the drop-down menu.

5. Select the Add Schedule hyperlink.

6. Select the Day of the Week, Start Time, and End Time using the applicable drop-down menus. You can also select the All Day check box to disable start and end times for the schedule.

To remove a day from the schedule, select the applicable X under Actions.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 as many times as is necessary to add additional days to the schedule.

8. Select Save.

Applying a Time Schedule to a Profile

Once you have defined a time schedule, you can apply it to a profile and combine it with other payloads to create more robust profiles. For example, you can define time schedules for the normal work hours of different organization groups and add a Restrictions payload that denies access to the Game Center, multiplayer gaming, or YouTube content based on ratings and other settings.

Once activated, the employees of the organization group to whom the profile was applied will no longer have access to these functions during the specified times.

1. Navigate to Devices > Profiles > List View > Add and select your platform.

2. Select Enable Scheduling and install only during selected time periods on the General tab.

3. In the Assigned Schedules box, enter one or more Time Schedules to this profile.

4. Configure a payload, such as Passcode, Restrictions, or Wi-Fi that you want to apply only while devices are inside the time frames.

5. Select Save & Publish.
