  7. Click Add E-FOTA Groups. The device groups are added to Knox E-FOTA and their details are synced from your EMM. Once the sync is done, you can click on a device group name to view the devices in that group.

    You cannot modify device group information on Knox E-FOTA. This is only possible through your EMM’s console. Every 24 hours, device group information is synced from your EMM to Knox E-FOTA. You can also do a manual sync by clicking Sync now at the top-right corner of the EMM groups tab.
