Device Action Commands

This guide outlines the available Action Commands for each supported platform — Android Edge, Android Enterprise, iOS, and Windows — detailing their functions and providing step-by-step instructions. It is designed to help IT administrators quickly identify, locate, and execute the appropriate command for tasks such as moving devices between fleets, forcing check-ins, rebooting, locking, wiping, and more.

Key Benefits

  • Centralized Control – Manage multiple devices simultaneously from a single dashboard.
  • Enhanced Security – Enforce policies remotely (e.g., wipe or unenroll lost devices).
  • Streamlined Management – Simplify fleet organization and device lifecycle processes.
  • Flexible Updates – Automate agent updates or perform manual interventions as needed.
  • Bulk Operations – Execute mass actions like renaming via CSV files.

Best Practices & Tips

  • Double-Check Selections – Always verify devices before applying bulk actions.
  • Use Trusted Editors for CSVs – Edit only in Excel or Google Sheets to prevent file corruption.
  • Backup Before Critical Actions – For actions like remote wipe, ensure data backups are in place.
  • Tag Devices with Custom Notes – Use notes to track purpose, location, or assigned user.
  • Test on a Single Device First – Trial new commands before rolling out to the fleet.
  • Schedule Bulk Operations Off-Peak – Minimize user disruption during updates or reboots.
  • Use Force Check-in Strategically – Avoid unnecessary network load.
  • Resume Paused Updates Promptly – Keep agents updated for security compliance.
  • Lock or Enable Lost Mode Quickly – Secure data on missing devices immediately.
  • Follow Platform-Specific Rules – Prevent errors by applying only supported commands.
