Create, Manage, Delete Fleet

Create New Fleet

1. Log in to your Springdel console.
2. Navigate to the Devices section from the left-hand menu.
3. Click the “+” icon next to All Fleets.
4. In the pop-up dialog:
   • Enter a Fleet Name (e.g., Marketing Android, IT Department).
   • Click Create Fleet.
5. The new fleet will now appear in the left panel under All Fleets.
6. Alternatively, you can also create a subfolder/sub-fleet under an existing fleet folder by clicking the folder where you want to add a subcategory, then clicking the “+” icon next to it. This allows you to organize devices hierarchically within nested fleet structures.

When performing this action, ensure that you have verified and are aware of the consequences being done. To disassociate a profile:
   
   
7. Once a profile is associated with a fleet, it will be displayed below the fleet name (e.g., Associated Profiles: Out of New York).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

1. Can a device belong to multiple fleets?

No. Each device can only belong to one fleet at a time. This ensures consistent management and policy application.

2. Is there a limit to how many fleets I can create?

There is no strict limit, but it’s recommended to keep fleet structures manageable and relevant to your organization’s operational needs.

3. What happens if I move a device to a different fleet?

When a device is moved to another fleet, it inherits the policies, profiles, and permissions associated with the new fleet.

4. Will profiles be removed if I move a fleet under another fleet?

It depends on whether the “Retain initial profiles” checkbox is selected during the move:

• Checked: The original profiles of the fleet will remain associated.
• Unchecked: The existing profile will be disassociated from the fleet — but not deleted.
