Before configuring the location settings, you must ensure that information is configured to import from Apple School Manager to Jamf School. For more information, see "Importing School Information to Apple School Manager" in Apple School Manager Integration or Integrate with your SIS for the first time from Apple's support website.

  1. In Jamf School, navigate to Organization > Settings in the sidebar.
  2. In the Apple School Manager settings section, click the payload with the Apple Account you use for Apple School Manager.
  3. (Optional) To ensure all locations are imported to Jamf School exactly as they appear in Apple School Manager, ensure the Synchronize all locations checkbox is selected.
  4. (Optional) To configure how locations are synchronized to Jamf School, deselect the Synchronize all locations checkbox and then do the following:

    • If there are staff members that are not directly associated with a class that you would like to synchronize to Jamf School, you can synchronize all those accounts at once by choosing a location to sync them to from the Location to use for syncing staff personnel pop-up menu.

    • If you do not want to synchronize a location from Apple School Manager, choose Do not synchronize from the corresponding location pop-up menus.
      Note:

      Any teachers, classes, or students associated with this location will not be synchronized with Jamf School.

    • If you want to configure the mappings of a location from Apple School Manager, choose the location you want to map the Apple School Manager location to from the corresponding location pop-up menus.

  5. Click Save.

You can access locations in the pop-up menu in the top bar of the Jamf School interface. Your main location is always displayed at the top of the locations list.
