Getting Started with Dynamic Group and Automation
Automation is one of the robust features in an MDM that will help you manage your devices with ease. With automation, you can reduce the time and effort you put into making things happen in your device management solution. Hexnode offers a range of automated features ranging from device enrollment to report scheduling.
Dynamic Groups
Unlike custom device groups, the movement of devices in and out of the dynamic device group is based on certain criteria. For example, consider a dynamic group of all compliant devices. All these devices that satisfy the criteria will get automatically added to the group. If any of those member devices lose compliance, they will be removed from the group in the next sync. This sufficiency of minimal manual effort makes dynamic grouping more desirable than manual grouping.
Merits
- Automatic sorting of devices to groups.
- Automatic association of policies based on specified criteria.

Pre-approved enrollment
You can enroll your Android, iOS, macOS and Apple TV devices in Hexnode via the pre-approved enrollment. Unlike the normal device enrollment, pre-approved enrollment enables you to list the devices in the Hexnode portal before provisioning the device to the Hexnode portal. Pre-approving devices enable you to attach pre-configured policies to those devices. This ensures that the policies will get associated with devices immediately after they rollout without any further setup delay.
Pre-approved enrollment is not an automated enrollment procedure. But once enrolled, the policies automatically take effect on the devices. You have to follow the iOS, Android, macOS or Apple TV enrollment procedure to complete the enrollment process.
Any Android, iOS, macOS or Apple TV devices can be pre-approved in Hexnode irrespective of the enrollment method forecasted for device provisioning. This is by importing a CSV file with the device details in Hexode.
