Create a profile

Last updated July 26th, 2023

This section guides you through how to create a new profile for wearable devices. Once you create a new profile, you can then customize your profile to apply custom settings to your wearable devices.

To create a profile:

  1. Launch the Knox Configure Portal though the Samsung Knox dashboard.

  2. Select Profiles from the left-hand navigation menu.

    Profile tab

  3. Click CREATE A PROFILE.

    Create a profile

  4. Select the device you’d like to customize: Click WEARABLE.

    • Ensure you select the appropriate device type. PHONE OR TABLET utilize different applications and settings than WEARABLE devices.

    Select device type

  5. Click Select under SETUP EDITION or DYNAMIC EDITION to specify the KC edition for the profile.

    • For a full listing of features available for each edition, select the Feature Comparison Table link.

    Select an edition

To date, if a device is configured and its assigned profile is changed, a profile push update is made regardless of the profile’s edition (Setup or Dynamic). New rules are now in place to restrict Setup edition profiles from receiving a push update. A Dynamic profile can still push update another Dynamic edition profile, and a Setup edition profile can still push update a Dynamic edition profile. However, a Setup edition profile can no longer update another Setup edition profile, nor can a Dynamic edition profile push update a Setup edition profile.
