Release Notes - 19 May 2018

New: 

• The launch of the new interface designs

We have been working hard behind the scenes to update the look and feel for you. We were very happy with the results and hope you are too! 

• The official launch of our District product!

We have listened to you and have taken on your suggestions for a more robust, feature-rich and easy to use way to manage multiple schools within the Mobile Guardian dashboard.  

A District user can:

• Create their own schools
• Assign their own licenses
• Have district-wide control of all devices, applications, book, media, etc.
• Create their own dashboard with the ability to drag and drop information cards.
• Centrally manage profiles and seed each school with restrictions, zones, schedules, tags and grading systems. 
• Move a device and student from one school to the next without having to wipe and re-enroll the device (using a centrally managed APNS certificate)
• and much, much more!

Here are a few articles to help you understand a few key concepts that we have changed/added:
