Add multiple iOS mobile devices

You can add multiple devices to N-central at the same time by: 

  • Sending multiple invites to a single email address to allow one individual to add more than one device

  • Using a CSV file that you create and upload directly to the N-central dashboard for bulk invites, rather than enter the details individually or by sending multiple invite registrations to one individual.

To send more than one device invite registrations to one email address: 

  1. In the left-hand navigation menu, click Views > All Devices.

  • send_sms and byod fields can be either (0) for no or (1) for yes
  • phone_number is optional so you can leave it blank. (For example, johndoe@mail.it,,0,1)
