Phones module

The phones module contains information about the mobile devices used in your company. The device information is needed to install Reslink apps and keep track of devices in use (this is important for the device-driven licence agreement). You need to set up the Phones module before you start using the Reslink platform.

To manage mobile devices, go to the Define > Phones page. You can fine-tune the table columns: to choose what device information is shown (for example, phone model and application) click Settings at the top of the page.

To edit settings of a particular device, go to the Define > Phones > <Phone name> page.
