This guide outlines the available Action Commands for each supported platform — Android Edge, Android Enterprise, iOS, and Windows — detailing their functions and providing step-by-step instructions. It is designed to help IT administrators quickly identify, locate, and execute the appropriate command for tasks such as moving devices between fleets, forcing check-ins, rebooting, locking, wiping, and more.

- Tag Devices with Custom Notes: Use notes to track purpose, location, or assigned user.
- Test on a Single Device First: Trial new commands before rolling out to the fleet.
- Schedule Bulk Operations Off-Peak: Minimize user disruption during updates or reboots.
- Use Force Check-in Strategically: Avoid unnecessary network load.
- Resume Paused Updates Promptly: Keep agents updated for security compliance.
