Creating a Smart Computer Group to Identify Eligible Computers

You can create a smart computer group to identify computers that can be upgraded using a staged macOS installer application. Smart group criteria may contain a number of requirements based on your organization and workflows. Consider the following when creating your smart computer group:

Current operating system version information
Available free space
Status and presence of a macOS installer application

In Jamf Pro, click Computers in the sidebar.
Click Smart Computer Groups in the sidebar.
Click New.
Use the Computer Group pane to configure basic settings for the group.
Select the Send email notification on membership change checkbox to enable email notifications.
Click the Criteria tab and add criteria to the group:
Note:
The following are the minimum recommendations; consider adding other criteria to your smart computer group.
1. Click Add.
2. Click Choose for the "Operating System Version".
  Note:
  Only your 30 most frequently used criteria are listed. To display additional criteria, click Show Advanced Criteria.
3. Choose an operator from the Operator pop-up menu.
  Note:
  Jamf recommends using the greater than or equal to or less than or equal to operators to identify eligible computers.
4. Enter the macOS version you want to upgrade in the Value field, or browse for a macOS version by clicking Browse.
5. (Optional) Repeat steps a through d to create a range of macOS versions to upgrade.
Choose "and" from the And/Or pop-up menus to specify the relationships between criteria.
To group criteria and join multiple operations, choose parentheses from the pop-up menus around the criteria you want to group.
Click Save.
Operations in the group take place in the order they are listed (top to bottom). Group memberships update each time computers check in with Jamf Pro and meet or fail to meet the specified criteria.
