You can automatically create classes in Jamf Pro by importing classes from Apple School Manager. When you integrate with Apple School Manager, you configure a class naming format by choosing variables that are applied to the display name for all imported classes. In addition, the Students payload and Teachers payload for imported classes are automatically populated with the information imported from Apple School Manager.
An assistant in Jamf Pro guides you through the process of importing classes from Apple School Manager. It allows you to choose the class you want to import from a list of classes in Apple School Manager. When you import a class, you also import the users associated with the class. This automatically creates new users in Jamf Pro and appends inventory information to existing users. For information about users imported from Apple School Manager, see Users imported to Jamf Pro from Apple School Manager.
If a user is added to a class in Apple School Manager after the class has been imported, the user is imported to Jamf Pro and matched with existing users at the configured sync time based on the criteria for matching imported users from Apple School Manager. If there is no match, the imported user is added to Jamf Pro as a new user in the Users tab.
After a class is imported, class information is updated automatically based on the Apple School Manager Sync Time.
For more information about class naming, matching criteria for importing users, and Sync Time, see Apple School Manager Integration.
