Creating your child's restriction rules

Mobile Guardian uses rules to manage the following on the Parent account

• Where child’s devices are monitored, i.e. at what location? – Create locations in the Zones section and then assign them to profiles.
• When is the child’s device monitored, e.g. during school hours? – Create schedules in the Time & Date Settings section and then assign them to profiles.
• Which devices are being monitored, e.g. home owned devices? – Assign devices to rules in the Settings section.
• What is being monitored, e.g. safe content? – Configure what is monitored in the Settings section.

Please see the steps to follow on how to set up and configure a Parent rule using all the above options available:
