  1. Lookup exact model

    Based on https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201300 you could show the exact model names.

    This would be useful to see the age of our Macs and distinguish between 13 and 15 inch models.

    Today this information is only available in the export.

  2. add an "auto-join" feature to wifi profiles

    I've noticed that configurator (and other MDMs) have an "auto-join" option that can be set when you create a wifi profile. I think this might help solve an issue we're having where we can't force devices onto a specific network. I'm hoping that judicious use of "auto-join" will allow us to select the correct network for a device via SimpleMDM

  3. 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.

    This was implemented a while ago but we seem to have missed marking it has complete.

  4. Create Report For Installed Applications

    Report on all installed applications across all devices. If users are in a group that allows applications to be installed, include the installed/detected applications on this report.

    So, per application, number of installations, or a detail report per application that shows where it is installed (on which devices).

    We have just added an endpoint to the API that allows you to return a list of devices with a specific app installed and the versions installed on each device. This can be called on a per-app basis for apps that exist in your account's Catalog. Here is a link to the API documentation: https://simplemdm.com/docs/api/#list-installs


    This API allows you to retrieve similar information to what you would find under the "Installs" tab when clicking into an app on the Catalog page.


    I will close this suggestion for now, but if you feel that the "Installs" tab under Catalog > [app_name] and API are not sufficient for your needs, please do not hesitate to submit a new suggestion.

    Please add the new FIrmware Password to the API device info

  6. app version device distribution

    See adoption of a specific app version.

    We publish continuously new versions of our mdm distributed enterprise app. Often, however, users decline to update to a certain version because e.g. they're in the middle of using the app. We know how to send another updated cycle out to the devices, but sometimes it would be helpful to see which devices have a specific version. Right now we have to manually go into each device, then to the apps section to see what's going on. Quite annoying for 30 devices and the numbers of our devices will increase in the future.

    I'm marking this one as completed because SimpleMDM does display this information on the "Installs" tab under the App Details (Catalog > click app name > Installs tab).


    If there is something else that you would like to see added to expand upon this, please submit a new suggestion. Thanks!

  7. 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.

  8. 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/SERIALNUMBER

  9. 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

  10. Allow to apply a profile to a specific device.

    Would be great to have the possibility to apply a custom profile to a specific device without having to create a new group!

  11. 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

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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…

  15. 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.

  16. Persistent settings (group) on re-enroll of device

    We'd love to see devices automatically re-assign previous settings when the device is re-enrolled. Currently, if a device is in SimpleMDM and gets erased/wiped locally, the device will re-enroll and be placed in the "Default" group, most settings are lost (Except Device Name).

    It would be useful if a device that gets re-enrolled would automatically appear in the group it was previously in rather than the default group.

  18. Hide API key until a 'reveal' button is pressed on the Settings > API page

    https://a.simplemdm.com/admin/api

    As noted on the page itself, 'Note: Take care to protect your account key. It is just as powerful as your username and password.'

    It would be nice if the key was hidden on view when you visit the page and instead there was a button near it that reveals the key temporarily. Would help prevent accidentally showing API key and looks better in demos.

    Thanks in advance!

  20. Sub domain homepage for enrollment with passcode

    Allow users to visit https://company.simplemdm.com enter a passcode then fill in Full Name to create the certificate to download. Then on the list of devices, the User and serial is recorded for search.

    While there isn't a customizable sub-domain, this outcome can be achieved using the Welcome Screen feature with a form and custom attributes. Closing this as completed but if there are additional requirements this option does not fulfill, please do not hesitate to open a new suggestion.
