Welcome to AndroidNexus! This guide will help you set up your first managed device in under 10 minutes.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • An AndroidNexus account with an active subscription

Step 1: Access Your Console​

  1. Navigate to console.devicenexus.ai

  3. You'll be taken to your Dashboard

Dashboard Overview

The Dashboard shows an overview of your Android fleet with three metric cards:

MetricDescription
Total DevicesCount of all enrolled devices
Non-CompliantDevices with policy violations requiring attention
Policies ActiveNumber of active policies

Below the metrics you'll find:

  • Recent Alerts - A card showing issues requiring your attention with a "View all" link
  • Quick Actions - Three buttons for common tasks:
    • Enroll Devices (orange) - Navigate to onboarding
    • View Non-Compliant - Filter to problem devices
    • Create Policy - Start a new policy
  • Device Activity - Filter devices by last seen time with dropdown selectors ("Not seen in" + time period)

The orange Customize Dashboard button in the top right allows you to personalize your dashboard layout.
