Device list

The device list shows you the current devices with these details:

• Health status: The health status is based on compliance rule violations, which you define in a Sophos Mobile compliance policy.

  If you configure Synchronized Security, Sophos Wireless can restrict network access for devices with bad health status. See Synchronized Security.

  You can also set the health status manually. See Set health status manually.

• Operating system: The device's operating system and version.
• Management mode: Different management modes exist depending on the device type. You set the management mode when you enroll a device with Sophos Mobile. See Management modes.
• Status: The management status. The management status shows whether a device is managed or not and, for an unmanaged device, why it's unmanaged.
