Data

The Data category allows the administrator to manage the content of devices. From this category, you can perform the following actions:

Perform a reboot

This feature takes into account the fact that the device loses the ADB connection, as it happens during a reboot. To enable this feature, click Add and Perform a reboot.

You must then define scripts that correspond to the device models you wish to configure:

  1. Select the tab of the device model you wish to configure.
  2. In Script Library, select the script with the match rate closest to your device model[^1].

  3. Create or complete the script using commands listed in the right-hand panel. The use of each command is detailed in section Script Commands.

    Tip

    • When a command is added, you can drag and drop it to run the script in the order of your choice.
    • The Expert mode allows users with good knowledge of script edition to write their script directly in XML.

  4. At anytime during script creation, you can test all or part of the script by selecting the commands to be tested and clicking Test. Commands being tested are then highlighted. You can abort the test by clicking Stop.

  5. If your script runs properly, click Add to script library.
  6. Repeat those steps for other device models.
  7. Click Apply.

When enabling this feature, you will have to manually perform the tasks required by the installation wizard and reactivate the USB debugging option. To do so, please refer to section Devices.

Wipe memory

Erases data contained in the device memory.

All data contained in the device memory will be lost! However, application data will not be erased.

Click Add and Wipe memory. Then, select a data removal mode:

  • a simple removal of data by enabling Standard removal. This mode quickly removes data contained in the device memory.
  • a more advanced removal of data by disabling Standard removal. This mode erases data contained in the device memory and adds an overwriting process making the erasure more secure. Therefore, deployment takes more time.

Click Apply to proceed.
