Device pre-enrollment

Pre-enrollment lets an admin enter device types, identifier types, and device identifiers, then add manual labels that will cause any associated policies to automatically deploy configurations. An admin also has the option to pre-assign users to devices during pre-enrollment.

Once imported, the configurations are ready for automatic deployment when the end user enrolls the device. Note that if the pre-enrolled device has been assigned a smart label A smart label is a set of saved filters—it may contain as many filter criteria as an admin chooses. Smart labels automatically include devices or users that meet the label's criteria., configurations from policies Labels are the key component for linking policies with users and devices. To link a group of users and/or devices with a policy, an admin can link a policy to an existing label or link a new label to an existing policy. associated with that label will be deployed during enrollment.

To see a list of all Discovered devices, simply filter the list on the Devices tab. For more details, see Filter devices,
