HP Engage Console User Guide

With Device Proles you can create a group of policies and settings to assign to your devices. You can apply
the device prole to individual devices or to a device group. Changes made in Device Proles automatically
apply to all the devices assigned to that prole. You can create custom device proles or choose from the
QuickStart options that contain preloaded settings based on the OS of the target device.
