Locations are components that Jamf School administrators can use to determine which objects (for example, computers, mobile devices, or apps) Jamf School administrator accounts can view and manage. Locations and the objects within them do not have to be organized based on physical location. For example, a Jamf School administrator could create sites for K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12 and then delegate control of each site to a specific Jamf School administrator account. To learn more about how the locations feature in Jamf School works in conjunction with the locations feature in Apple School Manager, see Locations.
When doing a large deployment using any enrollment method, there are a number of ways to ensure each device is assigned to the correct location. Jamf School allows you to assign devices to locations before, during, or after devices are enrolled.
There are four ways to assign devices to locations:
-
In Jamf School via Apple School Manager
-
During Automated Device Enrollment
-
Using placeholders
-
Manually
