You can use iBeacon Regions in smart groups. Once a device enters or exits a region, the smart group will automatically update and add or remove the device as a member.

  1. In Jamf School, navigate to Devices > Device Groups in the sidebar.
  2. Click + Add Group.
  3. Enter the name and an optional description for the new group and ensure the Smart Group checkbox is selected.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Click the Members tab.
  6. Click Add Filter.
  7. Select “Nearby iBeacon(s)” as the rule and select which iBeacon should trigger an enter or exit region event. You can specify more than one iBeacon. Any device becomes a member of the smart group if the device is near one of the specified iBeacons.
  8. Click Save Scope.
