Why does the screen remain always on when Lock Task Mode is activated?

Google Workspace sync issue – new users not showing up

When we try to enroll a user using their email, the user just doesn’t show up in Manage > Users in Hexnode. The domain is already connected with Hexnode, and this user was added recently in Google Admin also. Sync keeps failing though, and the user never gets pulled into Hexnode.

How does the console handle mass actions so fast?

I need a sanity check here. We just migrated our last batch of 5,000 iPads over from our old on-prem system. With the old system, anytime we pushed a policy update to more than 500 devices at once, the console would basically freeze for 10 minutes while it processed the "write" commands. Yesterday, I pushed…

How to disable battery protection mode on Lenovo tablets?

Hey all, we have a bunch of Lenovo tablets that need to stay plugged into the charger at all times in kiosks, but then the “battery protection mode” keeps hindering with the charging! I keep disabling the battery protection mode, but then the battery protection keeps enabling back itself. Is there any workaround for this?

Fix compliance button

i think if you could add a fix compliance option that would be awesome, for example an action option to "install missing profiles" to all selected devices. "install all missing apps"

Script Frequency

Hello, I would like more options in the Execute Custom Scripts policy. It would be nice to have various options like daily, weekly etc. If possibly customizable on the time and days the scripts get executed.

Subscribe to Help Center Docs Feature Request

Hexnode has great Help Center features. But unlike Hexnode Connect, I don't see a place to "Subscribe" or "Save" specific help documents. (Example) It would be great to allow us to create a library that we could sort or add tags to, making reference to the Help Center documents easier. If that is too much,…
