IMPORTANT NOTICE - Device Wipes in Workspace One
 
As C3 IGNITE POCs collect and update devices throughout the year, some changes may require clearing out all current data with a Device Wipe. 
 
When administrators complete the Device Wipe function in Workspace One or on the device itself, the option to "Preserve Data Plan" should appear. THIS STEP MUST BE CHECKED. ✅ Failure to select this option WILL result in the loss of LTE network connectivity. 
 
Need help? Watch this short step-by-step video on how to do a device wipe ⬇️. 
 
 
 
Cybersecurity tips for the holiday season
 
Many organizations have received emails and text messages purporting to be from staff using gmail.com, or other similar email accounts to solicit monetary donations or assistance with purchasing gift cards for other community members
 
Be suspicious of any email or text message that requests that you take immediate action, make unusual purchases, and that demand secrecy.
