Step 5: StageNow - Create a new Profile; this will be the profile that will stage AirWatch.
For the MX version, choose MX7.0 or higher as this is only applicable to Android N devices and above.
Choose the Xpert Mode configuration.

Step 6: StageNow
Enter a name for the StageNow Profile e.g. AirWatch_DA_Enrollment
Step 7: StageNow - Add Wi-Fi, 6 FileMgrs and Batch configs to the Profile.
NOTE: For successful staging, both the Workstation and device must be connected to the same network. Add a Wi-Fi config to the Profile only if you do not have an independent method for connecting the device to the staging network (e.g. separate barcode or manually-configured).
