Overview

What does the UDS Device Management Portal do?

• The UDS Device Management Portal manages device settings in bulk in the cloud.
• You can use the portal to add a new device, configure a replacement device, manage system updates, and invite new users to the portal.

Interface Basics

• To get started with the UDS Device Management Portal, log in to your UDS Device Management account using your Lenovo ID. If you do not have a Lenovo ID, click the Sign-Up link to create one.
• The upper right of the portal screen includes an account drop-down menu where you can access your Profile, Organization settings, and Preferences, and Log out of the portal.
• The upper right of the screen also has a Help button that provides Lenovo’s Integrated Solution Support (LISS) contact information for customer support.
• The Dashboard page displays various statistics about the users and devices in your organization at a glance, such as the amount of invited versus authenticated users.
• The Device Manager page displays a list of your organization’s grouped and ungrouped devices.
• You can perform many functions here, such as viewing device serial numbers and system versions, updating settings, organizing devices into groups, and checking the content loaded on any individual device.

The Content tab has three main sections: Applications, Media, and Recommended.

• Applications: This section lets you add new apps not pre-loaded with content and deploy them to devices.
• Media: This section lets you add videos and images and deploy them to devices.
• Recommended: This section includes all the apps and content pre-loaded with VR Classroom 3.
• Note: You must deploy media files from the Immersive Learning Hub rather than from the UDS Device Management portal. The content you deploy from the UDS portal will not be accessible in the Immersive Learning Hub.

The Users page displays all the users in your organization. Note: Do not edit users, invite new users, assign users to existing groups, create new groups, edit groups, or delete groups. These changes must be made in the Immersive Learning Hub. Any user changes you make in the UDS portal will not be accessible in the Immersive Learning Hub.

Software Updates

• Lenovo occasionally releases software and system updates for DPVR P1 Pro devices to improve device security, fix defects, or add new features.
• There are two different policies your organization can set for receiving system updates: Automatic and Manual.
• In the default Automatic policy, all devices will automatically download and install system updates as soon as they become available.
• You can set active hours that prevent devices from updating during specified times when the device may be in use.
• Updates will automatically download outside of active hours as long as the devices are powered on and connected to the internet.
• Using the Manual update policy means that devices will not automatically update when a system update becomes available.
• You will have to initiate the update using the UDS Device Management portal manually.
  • Note: Automatic policy is the recommended update method. The manual approach requires special intervention.

Setting System Update Policy

Note: The Update Policy also affects any updates made to the content that comes with VR Classroom 3.

1. Click your name in the upper right of the screen and select Organization Settings.
2. Click the Device Policy tab.
3. From the Update Option drop-down list, select the option you want.
4. Do one of the following:
   • If you want system updates to install during active hours, leave the Active Time Do not install during active hours check box clear.
   • If you do not want system updates to install during active hours, select the Active Time Do not install during active hours check box, then select the active hours period during which your devices will not update automatically.
5. Do one of the following:
   • If you want the system to check for updates any day of the week, leave the Only check for updates on these days check box clear.
   • If you want the system to check for updates on specific days of the week, select the Only check for update on these days check box, and then select the days you want.
   • Note: This feature is useful for scheduling updates outside of school hours so that updates do not interrupt student use.
