Managing Mobile Device Manager
Manage your devices and applications through Mobile Device Manager (MDM).
- Access to MDM is done only through Studio
- You can only start a single MDM instance at a time.
Mobile Device Manager fires up showing you a Welcome tab where you can quickly take several actions, such as starting an application or opening a log.
The following table lists the actions that you can take in the Welcome tab.

To configure variables:
- Open Studio and navigate to Mobile Automation > Mobile Device Manager.
- Navigate to Project Settings > Variables.
- Configure a Name and a Value. You can only add letter characters.
- Click Save & Close.
