Creation of dynamic device groups based on Agent Type

expand collapsive

Hello, is there a way to have a dynamic device group, group devices by “Agent Type” – We’re trying to group Android Enterprise devices as its own separate group and BYOD non-corporate devices as another

    Hey, Thanks for reaching out.

    You can create a dynamic group based on the ownership of the device. The ownership type has to be chosen at the time of enrollment.
    Navigate to Admin-> Enrollment->Enrollment Ownership. You will be able to find different ownership types. The device will be assigned with the ownership type that was enabled in the portal at the time of device enrollment. Based on this ownership type, dynamic groups can be created. Please note that the ownership type has to be chosen accordingly at the time of enrollment for this grouping to take place accordingly.
    For creating a dynamic group, please navigate to Manage–>Dynamic Groups–> New Dynamic Group. Give a group name and description. Under the condition filter, choose ‘Device info’ from the first drop-down list and you will be able to find the option ‘ownership’ in the second for filtering based on the ownership. The three categories of ownership are Personal, Corporate, Others. Please choose from this based on your requirements. Different dynamic groups can be created for different filters.

    Kindly use the help link to know more about the creation of dynamic groups.

    Cheers!

    Hey, Thanks for reaching out to us.

    Yes, you can manually do it. The automatic sync of dynamic groups depends upon the plan that you have subscribed for:

    • Pro: Auto-syncs every 4 hours.
    • Enterprise: Auto-syncs every 1 hour.
    • Ultimate: Auto-syncs every 15 minutes
    • Ultra: Auto-syncs every 5 minutes.

    For manual synchronization of dynamic groups:

    • Navigate to Manage-> Device groups and select the desired group.
    • Click on the Actions button and choose Sync Dynamic Groups to sync all the dynamic groups.

    Please check out our help doc on dynamic groups for more info.

    Cheers!
