Folders in MobiControl are used to manage and structure devices as a group.

Each folder has its own set of configuration files.

In our standard setup, there are always three folders: New Devices, Production, and Test (see Usage of MobiControl Folders), but you might have more folders depending on your setup.

The most common device movement is between the Test and Production folders. Moving a device to a folder will install that folder's specific configuration on the device being moved.
