As an admin managing your organization's Microsoft Windows devices with Google's Windows device management, you can add custom settings. These settings let you control device settings from the Admin console. This article provides the information you need to set up many common custom settings.
- In the Admin console, go to Menu > Devices > Mobile and endpoints > Settings > Windows settings.
- Click Custom Settings.
- Click Add a Custom setting.
- Complete these fields:
- Name: Enter a unique name for the custom setting to help you identify it in the settings list. Note: The name is updated if you select one of the pre-configured OMA-URI settings.
- OMA-URI: This field provides autocomplete, so you can look up a device setting or feature added by Google. You can search for these by either feature name or Open Mobile Alliance Uniform Resource Identifier (OMA-URI) value. For example, specifying the word camera displays all the camera OMA-URI values. You can also do lookups by specific OMA-URI values.
- Data type: The correct data type is set for the OMA-URI selected.
- Value: Enter the data value you want to associate with the OMA-URI. The value depends on the OMA-URI data type.
- Description (optional): Enter a description that gives an overview of the custom setting as well as any other important details.
- Choose the organizational unit to apply the policy.
- Click Apply.
To set a timeout, you must also explicitly turn on the device lock:
Set the idle timeout:
Name: MaxInactivityTimeDeviceLock
OMA-URI: ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/DeviceLock/MaxInactivityTimeDeviceLock
Data type: Integer
Value: 0–999, 0 = No timeout (default)
