Last published : Oct 12, 2026
The XenMobile console is the unified management tool in XenMobile. This article assumes you've installed XenMobile and are ready to work in the console. If you have yet to install XenMobile, see Installing XenMobile. For details on browser support for the XenMobile console, the XenMobile Compatibility article.

Initial settings workflow

After you finish configuring XenMobile first in the command-line console and next in the XenMobile console, the dashboard opens. You cannot return to the initial configuration screens. If you skipped some install configurations, you can configure the following settings in the console. Before you start adding users, apps, and devices, you consider completing these install settings. To start, click the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the console.

The items with an asterisk are optional.
