Create a Tag

Please refer to our Management Guide Part III: Tags for further information. In this Guide we will create a random Tag and assign it to your first device. 

  • Open your Silverback Management Console (e.g https://silverback.imagoverum.com/admin)
  • Login as an Administrator
  • Navigate to Tags 
  • Click New Tag
  • Enter a friendly name (required)
  • Enter a description (optional)
  • In the Enabled Features Area
    • Enable Profile
  • In the Device Types Area (required)
    • Enable Android and/or Samsung Knox
  • Click Save

Configure Passcode Settings

  • Navigate to Profile
  • Enable Passcode Settings
  • Select Minimum Length to e.g. 4
  • Click Save or change additional settings
  • Click Save

Starting with Android 10, Google has deprecated the option to set a passcode with the legacy management. For Android 10 and newer it is required to use the management options with Android Enterprise

Configure Exchange Active Sync

  • Enable Active Sync Settings
  • Enter as Label Name e.g. Office365 
  • Enter as Server Name e.g. outlook.office365.com 
  • Click Save
  • If you want to edit Profile, click edit
  • If you want to remove Profile, click removed
  • If you want to enable or disable Profile, use the checkbox

By adding or editing a Exchange Profile Active Sync Profile, the tag will be automatically be saved. So please be careful when editing EAS Profiles. 

Assign the Tag

  • Navigate to Definition
  • Enable Auto Population

With this setting our new Tag will apply by default to all Android Devices and/or Samsung Knox devices.
