Adding a New Device Group

You can assign devices to appropriate device group when you add them to the system. You can also assign a group to the existing device.

To add a device group:

  1. Go to Devices > Groups.

  2. In the Manage Groups window, click .

  3. Enter the Name of the group and select the Parent group.

  4. Click Save.

Devices and device groups are imported from the Device Management platform during the integration.

Procedure

  1. Go to Devices > New and click Add new device.

    The New Device window appears.

  2. Do these:
    1. In the Name field, enter the device name.
    2. In the Email field, enter the email address of the device owner.
    3. In the Phone number field, enter the phone number of the device owner.
    4. In the Group field, enter the device groups to which you want to add the device.
  3. Click Add.
  4. The system sends an email with the registration details and instructions to install the Mobile Security Protect app.

    When the device is added to the dashboard, an entry appears in the Devices table with a unique device ID. The device status is displayed as User Notified until the Mobile Security Protect app is installed and the device has communicated with the dashboard.

    When the App is successfully installed and run from the device, the registration screen appears.

    If the registration is successful, the app performs a full device scan automatically. If no malware or malicious configurations are found, the app status appears in green. If the communication with the dashboard is successful, the device entry changes from User Notified to Active, and the device details gets updated.

  5. To import devices in bulk from a CSV file, click Import from file.
    Important:

    CSV file format requirements:

    • The file must have a header row in this format:

      name,email,number,group,send_reg_email,send_reg_sms

    • Mandatory fields:

      • name

      • email

      • send_reg_email

      • send_reg_sms

    • If send_reg_sms is defined as TRUE, you must provide a phone number.

    • Use uppercase for TRUE/FALSE

    • For the group field, no need to add the All group in the CSV file as the system adds it automatically. Add only the required additional groups.

    Sample CSV template:

    name,email,number,group,send_reg_email,send_reg_sms

    John Smith,John@checkpoint.com,+123,,TRUE,TRUE

    Adam Smith,Adam@checkpoint.com,,Test-Group,TRUE,FALSE

  6. Select the file and click OK.

    The system imports the device details to the Devices table.
