Adding Devices to a Project : Conversa Solutions LLC

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Projects are a combination of applications, files, and settings that can be applied to a group of devices.

Devices can be associated with a project in one of three ways:

IMEI or Serial: useful if the admin knows these ahead of time (i.e. when using Zero-touch enrollment) or if they know who the end user of the device will be or if user assignment is anonymous.
QR Code: useful if the admin does not want to register the devices ahead of time (i.e. using QR code enrollment).

This article will describe the steps required to assign devices to a project so those policies can be applied.

For more information on creating and managing your projects, please see our knowledgebase article here.

Adding Device(s) to a Project by IMEI or Serial

Prerequisites:

Before you can add the device(s) to a project, they must be registered to the company.

For information on adding devices to your company, please see our knowledgebase article here.

After navigating to this page, you will see a table used to display all the devices assigned to this project.

To add devices, press the three dots menu on the right side of the screen, and choose one of the following options:
- Add Devices: for adding <100 devices
- Actions via CSV: for performing actions, like adding devices, to more than 100 devices at once.

Select the device(s) to be added to the project.
Once you have selected which device(s) you need to add, press the Add button in the bottom right to assign them to the project.

Choose an action:
- Add to Project
- Remove from Project
- Send Command
Attach your .CSV
- Download the Sample.CSV to have a blank template already properly formatted for use
Be sure that all devices load in the preview window, and then click "Upload X Devices"
This process is the same for removing devices from the project using a .CSV file.

If the Ensemble application has not been installed onto the devices, then no further action is needed, the project will be automatically applied once the device is provisioned.
If the Ensemble application has already been installed onto the devices, they will check in within 24 hours to receive the project policies (unless the time frame was changed in the previous project)
To instantly push the changes to the devices, either deploy the project or send reload policy commands to specific devices.

Prerequisites

Before you can add the device(s) to a project, they must be registered to the company.

For information on adding devices to your company, please see our knowledgebase article here.

Once on this page, you will be able to see the QR code auto-generated at the top of the device table, under the Registration titlehead.

To register a device after the MDM app (Ensemble) has been installed, scan this QR code from the Android login screen.

This will cause all devices on the project to check-in and apply the latest project policies.

For information regarding deployment options, please see our knowledgebase article here.

Use the Actions via CSV to reload the policies of particular devices at one time.
Upload .CSV file as normal and choose Send Command as the action.
Choose Reload Command in the Select a Command field.
Ensure the devices load in the preview window, then click "Upload X Devices".

You can also send commands to devices individually:

Use the checkboxes to select multiple devices, or just find the one device you need.
Click the Options button on the right side of the screen, and choose Remote Commands.
Choose the option you need, and Ensemble will send the commands to those device(s).
