The following example describes how data for a mobile device can be uploaded using Inventory Preload, how it updates Jamf Pro inventory records, and how inventory details can be updated by uploading subsequent CSV files.
- A CSV file with the following contents is uploaded using Inventory Preload:
Serial Number | Device Type | Username | Building | Department |
|---|
C8PLK8CLFM | Mobile Device | wcrandall | Hopkins Hall | Psychology |
- When mobile device serial number "C8PLK8CLFM" is enrolled, the following happens:
The mobile device is assigned to user "wcrandall".
The Building field for the mobile device is updated to be "Hopkins Hall".
The Department field for the mobile device is updated to be "Psychology".
- The CSV file is revised to specify mobile device serial number "C8PLK8CLFM" is in building "Smith Hall".
- The revised CSV file is uploaded to Jamf Pro using Inventory Preload.
- The next time mobile device "C8PLK8CLFM" updates its inventory, the Building field will be updated to "Smith Hall".
