This is a feature built into apple settings and should be pullable on an mdm solution. So we can report back activity to managers and know which apps are getting used that we deploy. Especially important with an increasingly large remote workforce.

It would be great to have the location address or coordinates available to see on the device details page for easy access. As of now, it's only available via API.

Looking for some of the settings that are available in Apple Configurator for an Exchange ActiveSync payload. See the screenshot below.

We are switching from VM Ware and the admins are emailed anytime a new version of an VPP App is updated. It's very useful if there is a glitch and the new version app is the cause. Just handy to know the update went out.

Can we get API to retrieve one Custom Attribute?

Call can be like "set value" just with get:

HTTP Request

GET https://a.simplemdm.com/api/v1/devices/{DEVICEID}/customattributevalues/{CUSTOMATTRIBUTE_ID}

Response: as it is when retrieving all:

{

data: [

    {

        type: custom_attribute_value,

        id: name_of_attribute,

        attributes: {

            value: value_of_attribute

        }

]

}

Very minor request. But it would be nice to have a drop-down menu or up and down arrows when on the device detail page so you may easily scroll through your device list—just as on the device group detail page.

Currently we are able to name our device on enrolment which is great, however we cant have a different naming convention per enrolment group. We would like to be able to name the devices differently for each enrolment group.

Make iOS 13 low data mode / data saver configurable for cellular connection when roaming and for wifi networks configured via MDM.

It would be great if we could disable guest users on macOS for security reasons.

Webclips have to share the name of the profile, our company has a specific naming convention for profiles and sometimes our webclips need to be named differently.

Same logic as Filevault Keys. Make them available via API.

Bonus points if the new API copes could limit access to PINs/ FV keys.

I really love how you can use parameters in many places. That said, it would be even better if we could have some simple "filters", or string functions, like many template languages have.

E.g. I get the first and last name as custom parameters from the enrollment login. It would be great if I could set the username to something like {{first_name|lowercase}}

Allow home screen configurations to be editable by end users.

I love and want the ability to create a starting home screen configuration for my iPad/iPhone end users - but I absolutely hate that it's then locked so they cannot change it further after that.

Also the iPads with iOS 13 have far more built in applications than what the Home Screen configuration shows, so a dozen apps just end up stuck in the second screen. Also please expand the limit of apps in a folder to more than 9, iOS does not have that small a limitation normally.

We have some installation dependencies for applications that we're deploying to macOS, but it doesn't appear possible to specify dependencies for Apps & Media within SimpleMDM. Because of that, we're unable to control the order that those packages are installed in. It would be nice to have the ability to mark certain app install bundles as dependent upon others.

We run websites on kiosk devices with locked down url profile. Would be great to support clearing the cache, or locking the browser to private browsing mode.

Currently, the API only allows to set a custom profile value for a device, not a default value globally.

There are lots of businesses that only want staff to access a certain website, but due to Apple's limitations this is impossible.
Suggestion is to create a browser app that can be programmed for only 1 (or more) specific websites. Then integrate it with your mdm for pushing the specific needed site(s)..
