I’m enrolling a batch of identical Android tablets in Hexnode, and they all show up with similar/default names. Is there a way to change the device name or assign a friendly name so each tablet is easier to identify in the portal?

Yes. You can rename an enrolled Android device or set a friendly name from the Hexnode portal.

Use either of these methods:

1. Go to Manage > Devices.

2. Open the Android device you want to rename.

3. Select the device name shown near the top-left of the device page.

4. Edit the name and save the change.

Alternatively:

1. Go to Manage > Devices.

2. Select the required device.

3. Choose Actions > Edit > Rename Device.

4. Enter the new name or friendly name and save it.

This is useful when managing multiple identical tablets, since each device can be labeled with a unique name for easier identification.
