The “where”s of corporate devices, solved!

AMGuard helps in locating your corporate devices, through the centralized EMM console, thus helping IT personnel efficiently find out any of the devices that the corporate wants to find right from the comfort of the home/office. No just that AMGuard also provides to track the history of device. While the devices being tracked AMGuard also captures lock/unlock events.

Let's see how this works.

  • Login to AMGuard Console
  • Go to Policy Groups, notice the list of policy groups. For the first time, you may see default policies.


Note : This feature is applicable only to Kiosk and Work Managed policies.

  • To add/update tracking configuration, click on kiosk or work managed policy. In this article we will be considering Kiosk policy.

  • Go to Track tab and make sure Location settings is ON.

  • Go to "Track" tab to enable tracking and add tracking configuration. Notice "Track" option is unchecked by default. To enable tracking, click on the check box. Once enabled, by default device location will be captured for every 10min. You may proceed to change the frequency from drop down list (1min, 10min, 30min and 1hr). 

Note : Events capturing is applicable only for Kiosk policy


  • While tracking the device, you can also capture lock/unlock events. Meaning, whenever device is unlocked, unlock event and location of unlock will be captured. This gives clear picture to administrator when & where exactly device is unlocked from kiosk mode and when & where it is locked again. This is possible only when Events is enabled.

  • After adding tracking configuration save the policy.

Lets now see how and where to view location history of a device,

  • On left menu, click on "AMTrack"

  • In order to track devices location at group level, select group name from the "Select Groups" drop down list.  All the devices in the selected group would appear on the map according to the latest (or last known) location. 


  • Selected a group that has 3 devices. Notice the locations of  the device on the map.

  • Mouse hover-over location pin will show Device ID (IMEI or Serial#)
  • Clicking on location pin would give complete details of device. Refer to picture below.

  • Clicking on "View" will navigate you to device details page. 
  • While clicking on "Track" will show track of locations of the device for the current day.

Note : If there are multiple locations at same place, the locations will be shown in clustered way.


  1. Location pins at similar location at grouped as clusters. Count "163" refers there are 163location stamps. Clicking on cluster will show all 163location pins.
  2. By default current day's location will be shown. However admin can select any other day.
  3. Download device location data in csv format
  4. Connects the points and shows the path in which device user moved
  5. Location details, events and timestamp
