Knox Manage 2.1.1 release notes

Please refer to below list of new features and improvements to be released with Knox Manage version 2.1.1:

[Device] UI/UX enhancement for device status change

“Device Command” and “Offline Deactivation” options will be merged into “Device Command”. If needed, admin can use offline deactivation code.

[Device] Tag for device information

IT admin can enter tags into individual devices or multiple devices in bulk. Tags will be used for various purposes such as matching specific user information to the device. IT admin can search for devices based on tags.

[Device] Detail information for the device

Security, Device information, and Network information can be checked separately from Device & Users > Devices > Detailed device information. Call/Data usage and battery status is added. IT admin can reset Data usage and Number of calls at Device Command > Device management > Reset data usage or Reset number of calls.

[User&Org] Enhancement for single user registration

IT admin can set the password for each end user. If it is not set by IT admin, then initial password will be the same as the user id and user have to change at first login. Password reset required is unchecked by default if admin sets the password. Additional information is replaced with folded UI (folded by default), which means admin can see general information by default.
