Configure a Device

StageNow 5.14

Use this Wizard to configure the most common device settings such as locale, security options, applications, MDM enrollment, and production network settings. This Wizard also allows you to connect to a staging and/or production network, reboot the device, or update the OS.

About Wizard Behavior

Settings created automatically by a Profile Wizard are sometimes not removed completely from the Profile when one or more of those settings are deleted manually. This occurs in Wizard-based Profiles that are further modified with settings created using Xpert mode. While parts of the deleted settings might still be visible, they are inaccessible by the administrator. However, the Profile does not execute them and otherwise functions normally.
