Techstep Essentials MDM

Essentials MDM offers an easy enrollment Wizard that allows to add new devices
to the system in a quick and simple way. This feature allows you to enroll a
single device using various methods: email, phone number or QR code; or set
the device up in Device Owner mode using NFC or a QR code.

To add a single device to the system, hover over the button in the DEVICES
tab and choose the ‘Enroll a device’ option.

A step-by-step modal window will appear and guide you through the
enrollment process.

First, select a platform. You can choose between Android, Apple or other devices
(e.g. Windows). In this case we will select Android.

In the second step select the device user and, if needed, edit the user’s email
and phone number. Select the enrollment method - COBO for fully managed
devices, BYOD for devices with work profile or COSU for dedicated devices.
Depending on the selected method, the appropriate policy will be assigned. You
can also select the device group.

You can read a detailed description of adding devices in BYOD mode here:

In the penultimate step select the desired enrollment method. For Android
Devices it is recommended to use Device Owner mode. It requires a new or
factory reset device but gives you access to more features.

Set up Device Owner

This choice allows you to enroll an Android device in the Device Owner mode.

The first step of this process is optional and allows the administrator to
configure a WLAN connection on the device during enrollment (Keep in mind
that the device will require Internet access to communicate with Essentials MDM
to properly configure and finish the enrollment process.) Then, select one of the
two methods for enrollment in the Device Owner mode: NFC or QR enrollment.

The NFC method requires an NFC-enabled, admin-assigned device already


enrolled (not necessarily in DO mode) to Essentials MDM. You need to select
such a device for use as a master device for scanning. Choose the device and
click ‘Start’. The master device will receive a request to start the NFC scan. Use
the target device to scan the new device by positioning the devices back to
back. When the new device is detected by the master device, tap the screen on
the master device to start the enrollment process. The new device will be
assigned to the selected user. Note: This method requires both devices to be
NFC-enabled, with the functionality turned on the master device. The new
device must be factory reset or new with Android 6.x or higher.

NOTE: NFC method has been deprecated and will no longer be developed since
Android 10.

The QR method does not require an additional device enrolled. The QR Reader
can be easily accessed by tapping the welcome screen (on the screen below)
on a factory reset/new device 6 times.

After scanning the code, the process is automatic, user confirms the registration
by clicking Next or Continue in the following screens
