User Interface Improvements for Jamf School

The Jamf Parent user interface for Jamf School integrations has been redesigned, allowing parents to manage child devices more efficiently using Websites, Allowed apps, and Restrictions. The following enhancements have also been made:
  • The most recently viewed child device now displays when the parent opens the app.

  • Child device information, such as device model and battery level, now displays in the upper section of the screen instead of in a separate Device information disclosure button.

  • App category and device functionality restrictions, previously found under Restrict device functionality, are now located under Restrictions.

  • Allowed app list creation, previously found under App Lock, is now located under Allowed apps.

  • Clear passcode has been added under the more options button.

Other Changes and Improvements

  • When a child's device is removed from a parent device in Jamf School, all configured restrictions are also removed from the child's device.

  • When users open the Jamf Parent app for the first time, the App privacy notice now displays information about the types of data collected by the app.
