To set the sync interval

  • In the Data Synchronization section, select a new Sync Interval, if you want it to be more or less frequent than every hour.
    Tip: If there are many thousands of devices in the Org, you would want to increase the Sync Interval, as it takes more time to sync more devices.

To save the EMM configuration settings and start a sync

  • At the bottom of the EMM tab, lick Save Configuration.
    Appthority MTP starts syncing with the EMM.

    The button shows a sync status, and the timestamp updates when the sync is complete.

To verify the integration status

  1. Check the Integration Status list at the top of the tab.
    Indicators show green for the components synced successfully.
    • If an option is not selected, or not available, its corresponding indicator remains gray.
    • If all indicators are gray, then the EMM Connector may not be connecting to the EMM. See Set Up Connectivity Requirements in MobileIron and check that the connection is Active in the Admin > Organization tab.
    • If an indicator displays red, it could mean that the sync is not yet complete, or that your API permissions have not been set correctly in your EMM. See Set Up Connectivity Requirements in MobileIron or contact your Customer Success Manager to troubleshoot.
  1. Once the Integration Status lights are green, check the following tabs to see the updates:
  • The Apps tab displays the list of apps from the EMM.
  • The Devices tab displays the list of devices from the EMM, and shows which if any are violating Appthority MTP policies.

Next steps: Configure Policy Enforcement in MobileIron.
