Default device preference and security setting values

The default device settings for users come from the IBM Traveler administration database default device settings document. Users can change their device preference settings from their devices, but only an IBM Traveler administrator can change device security settings. A Domino® policy containing IBM Traveler settings (a IBM Traveler Domino® policy) can be used to override the default device settings for individual users, groups, or organizations.

For the settings listed in the following table, select Lock value on device to prevent modification of the setting from a IBM Traveler client. Any settings without this option are always handled as locked.

Note: Settings in tables 1, 2, and 3 do not apply to devices with applications utilizing the Exchange ActiveSync protocol, such as the native applications included on Apple, BlackBerry 10 and Windows Phone and Tablet devices, unless otherwise noted.

Table 1. Default Preferences > Sync settings
Setting	Description	Default value
Synchronize	Specifies the IBM® Notes® items that should be synced to the IBM Traveler client. This setting only applies to Exchange ActiveSync devices when the setting is locked either in the IBM Traveler default settings or a Domino® Policy.	All of the following are selected by default: Email, Calendar, ToDo, Contacts, and Journal. On IBM Verse for Android, if either mail or Calendar are selected, both mail and Calendar both sync. IBM Verse for iOS always syncs Email, Calendar and Contacts.
Schedule	Define peak synchronization schedule and modes of synchronization to use for peak and off-peak hours.	The following options are selected by default: Peak sync type: Always connected Off-peak sync type: Always connected Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday Peak start time: 8:00 Peak end time: 17:00
Disable sync when battery low	Select to prevent the IBM Traveler client from making non-user requested connections to the server while the battery is low.	Enabled by default.
Connect when roaming	Select to allow the IBM Traveler client to operate as normal, regardless of whether or not the device is on a roaming network. Otherwise the client will be prevented from making non-user requested connections to the server while the device is roaming.	Disabled by default.

Table 2. Default Preferences > Filter Settings
Setting	Description	Default value

The IBM Traveler server no longer requires an artificial limit to be placed on attachment size for other devices.	4000 KB
Email Attachments	Enables automatic syncing of file attachments to the mobile device. For Android devices, this setting also controls the automatic syncing of embedded email images. For Apple devices, this setting has no impact. In order to disable attachments on Apple devices, you must set the Email Attachment Size to '0' kb.	Disabled
Email Attachment Size	Automatically download file attachments smaller than this size. For Android devices, this setting also applies to embedded email images.	100 KB
Email Date Filter	Enables filtering email by the number of days specified.	Enabled and 5 days

High Importance Only	Select High Importance Only to synchronize only high importance emails.	Disabled
Calendar Date Filter Past Events	Enables filtering of past calendar events by the length of time specified.	Enabled and 1 week
Filter Limit	Administrative setting that enforces a maximum past event filter window for users that either disable the past event filter or select a value greater than this limit from their IBM Traveler client. This setting applies to Exchange ActiveSync devices.	Unlimited
Calendar Date Filter Future Events	Enables filtering of future calendar events by the length of time specified.	Enabled and 3 months
Filter Limit	Administrative setting that enforces a maximum future event filter window for users that either disable the past event filter or select a value greater than this limit from their IBM Traveler client. This setting applies to Exchange ActiveSync devices.	Unlimited

ToDo Status	Enables display of only to do items with a status of incomplete	Enabled

Once a device has registered with the server and has received settings from the device profile, the device preferences cannot be changed by an administrator unless the settings are locked either in the default device preferences or a IBM Traveler policy. If the administrator changes the value of a locked setting, then this change is synced to the mobile device immediately. A mobile device user cannot change setting values from the device for settings that are locked by a policy. Unlike device preferences, any security setting changes made by the administrator are synced to the mobile device.

Note: Several of these settings have a violation action that must be configured. The violation action executes on the device if the local device security setting does not match the security policy. The default violation action is Report.

Table 9. Violation action settings
Setting	Description
Report	If the setting is not compliant, the violation is reported to Domino® Domain Monitor (DDM) on the IBM Traveler server. The mobile device user is notified on the IBM Traveler status screen with a security lock icon and a message.
Disable Synchronization	If the setting is not compliant, the violation is reported to the IBM Traveler server and any further syncing with the server is disabled. Syncing can be re-enabled only by fixing the security policy violation.
Enforce	The IBM Traveler client forces the setting on the device to match the setting in the security policy. For settings such as the device password, the mobile device user is prompted to enter a password for the device. If at any time the settings are detected to be non-compliant, the violation is reported to DDM on the server and syncing is disabled on the mobile device until the violation is corrected.

Table 10. Default Assignment settings
Setting	Description	Default value
Include users	The names of users or groups to which the default device preference settings apply.	Blank, which means all users. To specify all members of a branch of a hierarchical name tree, use an asterisk () followed by a forward slash and certifier name, for example, /Sales/Acme.
Exclude users	The names of users or groups to which the default device preference settings do not apply.	Blank, which means no users. Use an asterisk () to indicate all users. To specify all members of a branch of a hierarchical name tree, use an asterisk followed by a forward slash and certifier name, for example, /Sales/Acme.

Setting	Description	Default value
Require approval for device access	Selecting this setting will make all new devices able to register, but not sync data with IBM Traveler. The device will be in a locked state until approved by the Administrator.	Deselected
Number of devices to allow per user before approval is required	This setting allows the Administrator to auto approve a given number of devices per user. The number refers to registered devices per user and is not time sensitive. For example if set to `1`, the first device to register for a user will not require approval, but any new devices will. Completely deleting a device from the database and security record removes it from being considered in this calculation.	1
Optional: Addresses to notify when approval action is pending	This allows an Administrator to be notified when an approval action is required. The notification would include the User ID, Device ID, Device Type, and date of registration. The notification list can include users, groups and Mail-In DBs. The registering user will always receive a notification when a device registers and requires approval. The e-mail copy sent to the administrator includes a link to `LotusTraveler.nsf`.	Blank, which means no addresses
