Requesting new Software for deployment with datajar.mobi

  • Updated

In order to enable us to deploy new or additional software to your Apple estate we require a few steps to be complete.

If the Software item is available through the iOS App Store, or macOS App Store:

  1. Log into Apple School Manager, Apple Business Manager or the VPP store
    1. If you are unsure which store you should use, please contact us on support@datajar.co.uk 
  2. Purchase as many licenses as required for your desired deployment, including free Apps
    1. If purchasing via the Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager stores, ensure that these are assigned to the datajar.mobi server, if possible
  3. Download the Application Assignment spreadsheet below, filling in as follows:
    1. If the software item is for macOS, use the macOS workbook. If the software is for iOS, use the iOS workbook
    2. Fill in the first column with the name of the software item
      1. Please ensure this name is exactly as shown in the Apple School Manager, Apple Business Manager or VPP stores to minimise any mis-deployments
    3. Fill in the second column with the desired deployment method
      1. Installed Automatically - Will deploy the software item as soon as configured
      2. Self Service Only - Will make the software item available in Self Service for user 'on-demand' deployment
    4. Fill in the third column with the scope for this deployment
      1. Values for this could be:
        1. All devices
        2. All 1:1 devices
        3. All Shared devices
        4. Some 1:1 devices (in which case we'd need the exact AD Security Group/s to scope to)
        5. Some Shared devices (in which case we'd need the roles to scope to)
  4. Send the Application Assignment spreadsheet to support@datajar.co.uk and we'll get to work
