Play a sound
From the iCloud interface you are able to play a sound to find your iPhone. I just noticed that the Simple MDM does not list that as an action to preform. I realize you could call the phone, but if the switch is on mute, the ringer will not sound, but I believe the play a sound from iCloud works when the mute switch is enabled.

update iOS (for DEP devices that support it) via the API
Just looking at the API now, and it would be amazing if the ability to update iOS could be added to the API. I can envisage all kinds of scripted updates out of hours to make life easier for remote admins - for example scripting moving out of single app mode, updating the OS and moving back into Single App mode

Button to force/request device details
Add a button to request device details.
Example: When adding/removing an app to/from devices, it takes up to an hour for the portal to reflect the changes. It would be nice to push a request for the data, especially when we don't have the luxury of waiting an hour.15 votes -
Save the last used sort order of the devices list.
When checking the devices I often sort by something, like date last seen, then click on a device to view. When I return to the devices list I want to just click the next device, but the sort order has been reset.
1 voteThis was implemented a while ago but we seem to have missed marking it has complete.

Allow a view device URL based on serial or device ID
Watchman Monitoring is looking to build an integration for Macs which are enrolled in SimpleMDM.
One thing we'd like to do is present a URL which lands at specific device. Currently this can be done with an internal SimpleMDM ID such as:
https://a.simplemdm.com/admin/devices/123456
If URLs such as these existed, we could do that without the need for any API/account access
https://a.simplemdm.com/admin/devices/UNIQUEIDENTIFIER
or
https://a.simplemdm.com/admin/devices/SERIALNUMBER4 votesThe following query is now available: https://a.simplemdm.com/admin/devices/?serial_number=[SERIALNUMBER]

Support Adding .pkg and .dmg without signing
One of the nice things about Meraki’s SM is the way in which it handles the install of Apps vs SimpleMDM namely:
- You dont need to sign a .pkg
- You can upload a file or specify a URL as the source of the installer (.pkg or .dmg)Having to sign the .pkg is kinda annoying.

let us download an uploaded IPA
We recently had a case where we suspected that one of the app binaries that we uploaded wasn't the one we intended to release. We thought to download the IPA from SimpleMDM and do a hash check against the IPA we had locally, but wasn't able to find any way to download it from the SimpleMDM website.

Add email account from configuration profile
In our old (crappy) MDM solution the only thing that wasn't crappy was the ability to configure email accounts on a per device basis via pre-defined email configuration profiles. At the very moment in Simple MDM we have to fill out a couple of fields on the device->accounts->email page manually.
Being able to chose from a list of pre-configured email account configuration profiles would be much smoother for us.
Thanks for considering and hopefully implementing that feature!
12 votesEmail accounts can now be assigned at the device group level. If the username and password field values are unique for each device, they can be left blank so that the user is prompted for the values. If you would like to add them as an administrator, custom attributes can be used to create username and password values on a per-device basis.

Force iOS Update
Give the ability to Force a Device to Update to the latest version of iOS. Without a request sent to the Device. I need the ability to just force the update without asking for an approval from the Device holder. My Customers are not very smart.

Printable Receipts
A printable version of the billing history would be perfect. For now one needs to make screenshots of the billing history for accounting purposes.

Device page "Show" settings preserved on my session
Upon choosing to show more devices on the devices page e.g. 20/40/1000, when I reload the page I want these settings to be preserved on my session, so I don't have to click 20 / 40 / 1000 - ALL

Allow updating of a custom profile
Many times building a custom profile is iterative and sometimes needs to be changed.
It would be great to be able to upload a new .mobileconfig that overwrites the existing profile and deploys the new profile to all devices immediately without having to un-assign and re-assing to groups.

Provide a preview of custom config profiles
It would be very helpful to be able to see the XML of the custom profiles that have been uploaded in the event that the profile naming itself is bad.
That way I can know if the target profile is doing what I am expecting it to do or not.

Show resolved Custom Attribute values if not currently overridden
It would be great to be able to see the value a given device or group is inheriting from the default / group-defined value.
For instance, if I have a globally defined passcode length of 4, and a group level passcode length of 6, then when I am viewing the attributes of a device in the aforementioned group, then I see "6" as the "prompt text" for the text field.
This will allow me to know if I should define an override for this device/group or if the inherited value is what I want already without having to navigate away…

allow in-app purchases to be disable via Device Restrictions
Currently, in-app purchases can be disabled via the on-device Restrictions page. However, I do not see this as an option when configuring my Group Restrictions. Can this item be added to the available Restrictions?
Thanks!

Automatically Sync with Apple DEP
Please add an option to allow "Sync with Apple" to happen without admin interaction. Ideally this would sync daily with Apple's deploy.apple.com service. In our environment we purchase from an authorized reseller so they automatically assign the serial numbers to our account and we would ideally like this to sync with SimpleMDM without admin interaction.
3 votesDEP accounts are now automatically synced every three hours.

Event to hook into when a new device enrolls (e.g: webhook)
Would be nice if it's possible to hook into some event when a device
gets enrolled. Since I'm not able to influence the polling I would like to
