View and Edit Device Name
-
Enrolled devices are listed by the name assigned to them by their owner. For example, 'Franks-PC'.
-
If no name was assigned then the manufacturer device name or model number is used.
-
Custom Device Name - You can change the label of the device according to your preference. The custom name will apply in Xcitium console but will not change the name on the endpoint itself.
-
Allow Auto Rename of Device Custom Name - If enabled, the custom name is replaced automatically by the actual device name during the next sync. Disable this option if you want to retain the custom name on the Xcitium console.
