You can use payload variables to populate configuration profile settings with computer, mobile device, or user attribute values stored in Jamf Pro. This allows you to deploy settings specific to each device or user. For example, you can display the unique serial number on the Lock Screen for an iPad.

To use a payload variable, enter a variable from the list below into any text field when creating a configuration profile in Jamf Pro. When the profile is installed, the $VARIABLE is replaced with the value of the corresponding attribute in Jamf Pro.

Note:

Payload variables are case-sensitive.
