Getting a device under management is quicker than setting up a new email account. Here is the whole process.
Before you start: the device must be freshly factory-reset (or new out of the box) and be a stock Android phone with Google Play. That is it.
Step by step:
1. In your Matrix MDM panel, open Devices and click "Enroll device". A QR code appears.
2. On the factory-reset phone, tap the very first welcome screen six times in the same spot. This opens the QR reader.
3. Connect to Wi-Fi if asked.
4. Scan the QR. The phone downloads Google's management agent and configures itself.
5. After a minute the device shows up in your Devices list โ named, assigned, and ready for policies.
From there you can lock it down, block apps, set a password policy, or send it into kiosk mode โ all from the panel, all applied over the air. No cables, no per-device fiddling.
