Duplicate Devices

This section helps IT Admins to check if they have enrolled the same device twice. This option works for Android, iOS, and macOS. Duplicate device entries may happen in the following scenarios:

1. If the device is factory reset or re-enrolled via Zero-Touch, or DEP.
2. If the user locally removes the MDM Profile on Mac devices or re-enrolls the device.
3. Admin is enrolling the device as EMM-managed. However, the device does not enroll as a managed device. So admin might reset the device(s) and re-enroll.
4. In all the above cases, if the previous device entry has not been deleted from the dashboard, then re-enrollment creates a duplicate device.

How to remove duplicates

1. Select Devices: You have the option to manually select the duplicate device (based on the last seen time stamp) and delete the device. Put a check in front of the device (the one with the earlier timestamp) and click on the Delete button on top.
   
2. Actions: Click on the delete icon under Actions to delete the duplicate device.
   
3. Clean up: If there are a large number of duplicates, you can use the Clean Up utility to remove duplicates in one go. Click on the Clean Up button on the top right. There will be two options displayed in drop-down:
   1. Clean Up Now: This will clean up the duplicate device entries based on the last seen time stamp.
      
   2. Schedule Clean Up: You can schedule the time and frequency to auto-delete the duplicate devices. Clicking on Schedule Clean Up will open up a dialog where you can set the Time, TimeZone and frequency at which the clean-up should take place.
      

      
      

      
      Please note that the devices identified as duplicates based on Serial number may not be duplicates, and it might be an issue with the OEM where all devices have the same Serial number.
      Note

      To avoid the creation of duplicate devices, please enable the Re-enrollment Settings in Utilities > Global Settings > General Settings. Refer to our guide here.

Nudge Inactive Device

This option helps the IT Admins to send a nudge to devices that might be sitting ideal.

Buzz Devices

This option allows IT Admins to play a short notification sound on any device while it is locked in Scalefusion.

1. Once you select the device(s) and click on Buzz button, you will see a pop-up window where you can select "Keep ringing until device user acknowledgement" option to keep it ringing until the user clicks on Ok on the message dialog box on the device. 
2. You can also add a message to be sent along with the Buzz device push.
   1. The character limit for the message is 1000 characters.

Broadcast Messaging

This option allows IT Admins to send messages to the users' Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows 10 devices from Scalefusion. These messages are displayed as a pop-up and will be saved on the device for future reference.
