Time Fence Job
The Time Fence option creates time-based boundaries for mobile devices, restricting their behavior and functionality during specific periods. Administrators have the flexibility to set policies on these devices by assigning jobs to be executed when the device enters or exits this defined time fence. This feature enables precise control over device actions and configurations, allowing organizations to implement tailored settings for different time frames. By utilizing the Time Fence option, administrators can ensure that devices automatically adjust their behavior as needed, enhancing both security and productivity.
