Mass actions allow you to perform potentially tedious tasks for multiple computers at the same time. Mass actions can be performed on smart or static group membership lists, computer search results, or lists of license usage matches. The following table explains the mass actions you can perform using Jamf Pro:
Mass Action | Description |
|---|---|
Edit the building or department | Mass editing the building or department for computers allows you to add the computers to a building or department or change the building or department they belong to. This option is only displayed if there are one or more buildings or departments in Jamf Pro. For more information, see Buildings and Departments. |
Edit the site | Mass editing the site for computers allows you to add the computers to a site or change the site they belong to. When computers are added to a site, any users assigned to those computers are also added to that site. This option is only displayed if there are one or more sites in Jamf Pro. For more information, see Sites. |
Look up and populate purchasing information from Apple's Global Service Exchange (GSX) | You can mass look up purchasing information from Apple’s Global Service Exchange (GSX) and populate the information in Jamf Pro if desired.

Only the information found in GSX is returned. |
