Configuring Sample Schedule

You can configure sample schedule in the UEM console to permit the printers to perform automated check-ins to Omnissa Workspace ONE UEM at scheduled intervals. The automated check-ins help Workspace ONE UEM to manage printers effectively by getting the printer status at regular intervals. Sample Schedule is configured at Organization Group level. Increasing the check-in frequency can impact performance. You can test different schedules to understand the check-in frequency that suitable for your environment. This helps you to configure sample schedule without impacting performance.

To configure sample schedule:

Log in to the UEM console and navigate to Groups & Settings > Settings > Devices & Users > Peripherals > Sample Schedule.
In the Device Details Sample, select the value text box and enter a desired numerical value. You can also select to increase or decrease the entered value.
Select the type drop-down menu and then select minutes, hours, or days. The option you select applies to the numerical value entered in the value text box. Sample schedule runs at the interval you set.
