Best Practices & Tips

  • Test Before Deployment –: Apply new profiles to a small group before fleet-wide rollout.
  • Set at Least Two Wi-Fi Networks for Restrictions –: When using “Allow Only These Wi-Fi,” configure at least two networks to prevent connectivity issues.
  • Use Clear, Descriptive Names –: Label Wi-Fi and APN entries for easier maintenance.
  • Enter One URL per Line in Web Filters: Avoid commas and regex patterns; always include the protocol (http:// or https://).
  • Prefer Domain-Only Entries: Use entries like com for better compatibility and subdomain coverage.
  • Verify APN Settings with Carrier: Ensure MCC, MNC, and authentication types are correct to avoid mobile data issues.
  • Enable Preserve Wi-Fi Settings if Needed: Keep networks active even after a profile is removed.
  • Document Proxy or MMS Settings: Especially important when using custom or private mobile networks.
