LATEST - April 2019    KACE Cloud Mobile Device Manager

We are excited to announce our most recent updates to KACE Cloud Mobile Device Manager!

What's New

New Feature:

Enhancements to Features and Functionality:

• Multi-Configuration for Android Apps — This feature enhancement allows the creation of multiple configurations for a single Android app. Not all apps allow this functionality, but an administrator can determine which apps are available for multi-configuration by locating the gear icon adjacent to the app in the master list.
• Android Agent Version — An admin can now install the latest version of the KACE Android Agent app to any Android device by selecting the device, then selecting Install Agent App in the Android drop-down. Once Install Agent App is selected, the most recent version of the app will be pulled up automatically, and an admin only needs to approve permissions and save to deploy.
• Device History Charting — Device history now includes a chart feature that provides visualization of activity relating to successful, pending, and failed commands as well as KACE Lifecycle events (enroll/unenroll), label add/remove, and manual runs of inventory. Chart filters include activity type and date range.
• New Filtering Capabilities — Our device and user filtering capabilities now include passcode policy and restriction options that are specific to device management policies: iOS Default, Android Personal, and Android Work (fully managed).
• Reboot for Android 7.0+ — An admin can send a 'Reboot' command that will attempt to restart one or more fully managed Android devices.
• Reassign/Unassign Company-Owned Device(s)
  • When reassigning a company-owned device that is Android Fully Managed or iOS Supervised, all applied configurations (e.g., apps, Wi-fi, VPN) will be removed. All configurations set for auto-deployment to your company devices will then be deployed to the device. An admin can also choose to clear the passcode from the device during the process.
  • When unassigning a user from a company-owned device, the current user is removed and no new user is assigned. When unassigning a company-owned device that is Android Fully Managed or iOS Supervised, all applied configurations (e.g., apps, wi-fi, VPN) will be removed. An admin can also choose to clear the passcode from the device during the process.

• Subscription Details — Additional subscription information is now listed on the Settings page, including subscription type, start and end dates, and available licenses. If you're running a trial subscription, you will have access to a button for renewal that will allow you to automatically renew for another 30 days if you need additional time to evaluate the product.
