In many cases, it is necessary to send a command to many mobiles that share one or more specific conditions. These conditions can be variable or fixed per device. In these cases, dynamic groups provide a mechanism for grouping by one or more conditions.

Dynamic groups as their name indicates are totally dynamic with respect to the devices they group, that is, mobiles can stop belonging to the group if they change an important condition, for example, if a mobile that belongs to the company has its property type changed, it automatically ceases to belong to the groups that only include the company’s mobiles. Dynamic groups can be used when deploying policies or rule sets.

To create a dynamic group, log in to the AEMM Startup Console, in the Administration from the main menu, select the Dynamic Groups. In the information view, you can see a list of the group records you have created.

In the information view, click the New. In the detail view you can Set up basic group information.

In Groups detail view, on the Mobile Enter the group membership conditions related to the mobile. Here you can filter by property type (Company or User), Platform (iOS or Android), Manufacturer, Type (Smartphone or Tablet) and OS version. All the conditions specified must be met for the mobile phone to belong to the group.

In the Groups Detail view, on the Users You can indicate another alternative for the mobiles to belong to the group, and this has to do with the person carrying the device. Different users or groups of users can be chosen to make up the condition. If any device is ported by some of the included users or groups, then the device belongs to the group.
