Workflows - Compliances

Overview

These types of Workflow are useful to set alerts on device vitals and metrics and then associate actions when the particular compliance is hit. The actions can be set to send emails or to alert the user to take an action. In this section, we will see the Workflow of type Compliance Tasks available and how they work.

The Workflow of type Compliance tasks follow certain rules that apply to all of them. These are,

1. These Workflows can be created at a Platform/OS level or at a Global level.
2. When these Workflows are created at a Platform/OS level, these can be set on Device Groups.
3. When these Workflows are created at a Global level, they work on all the devices in the inventory. There can be only one Global Workflows that can be created for each type except for Geofence Workflows.
4. These Workflows are based on the Dashboard timezone or the timezone that you select. That is the trigger when the set time is reached based on the selected timezone.
5. These Workflows are based on the periodic synchronization of information from devices and hence require the devices to be online.

Set a Battery Compliance

1. What does it Do: This allows you to create compliance based on battery level for all of the devices in inventory or to the devices in a group. You can have the information emailed to the selected Email settings. Additionally, choose an action to warn/alert the user via a Broadcast message.
2. Supported Platforms: 
3. Prerequisites:
   1. For Platform/OS level compliance, needs at least one Device Group with the devices of the platform/OS added to the group.
   2. For Global level compliance, no device groups are required.
4. How to Create:
   1. Navigate to Reports & Workflows > Workflows
      1. To create a platform-level compliance, click CREATE FLOW > OS/Platform > Battery Compliance
      2. To create a global level, click CREATE NEW > Global > Battery Compliance

This will open a new window with three tabs: Basic, Email Settings and Actions.

1. Basic

1. Name: Name for the Workflow.
2. Select Groups: Select one or more groups where this Workflow works. This is available only for Platform/OS-level workflow.
3. Battery Level Less than Choose a % of the battery level below which you want this Workflow to work. The battery level can be selected from 5% to 95%.
4. Include Devices that are on Charging: Choose if you want this workflow to work for devices that are in charge.
5. Time of the Day & Timezone: Select the time of the day and the timezone during which you want this to be monitored.
   

B. Email Settings

Here you can configure the email IDs to which an email notification will be sent for this Workflow. You can choose Global Email Settings in which case the email will go to Account owner, Co-account owner and Admins. Or you can choose Custom Email Settings and provide email IDs to which the notification will go.

You can also set a Frequency at which the emails will be sent. You can set it for Daily or for selected days of the week.

C. Actions

In this tab, you can configure the Actions that should take place on the device if the battery goes below the set battery level.

1. Send Broadcast Message: Select this if you want to send a message to the User/Device to alert them to recharge the device. If selected, please enter the message to be sent.
   
2. Android Specific Settings: These settings are exclusive to Android devices.

      3. Configure Grace Period:You can define a grace period before the selected actions are applied to the device. For instance, if a device's battery level drops to 30% and remains uncharged, the specified actions in the workflow (such as turning off the device) will be executed after the grace period expires. You can set the grace period from 5 minutes to 72 hours.
         1. Custom Duration: You can also set a custom duration for the Grace period apart from the timings mentioned in the drop-down list. In the drop-down list, select the Custom Duration option and enter the time next to it (in hours).
