  1. Add column sorting to apps

    When looking at all devices with an installed app, it would be nice to be able to sort by the columns instead of only sorting by device name. This would let me sort to see what devices have old versions of an app installed instead of having to copy and paste into an excel file.

  2. ability to see per-device logs via the API

    Right now you can query the logs via the API. Which is great! :) BUT - you have to pull ALL log events and then parse through them.

    I'd love the ability to pull the logs for a specific device via the API - which is clearly something you can do in the WebUI via filters and voodoo.

    My end goal is being able to query if a lock.enabled command is in the logs, so I can confirm a device has received a remote lock command.

    But I'm sure being able to query individual device logs for other entries would…

  3. Show app version on app assignment page

    We sometimes upload different versions of the same app for assignment to different devices. On the app assignment page, it is difficult to see what version I'm assigning without actually clicking on the app link and seeing the version on the app page.

    Please show the app's version directly on the assignment page.

  4. Location Address or Coordinates on Device Details Page

    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.

    Location coordinates are available by hovering over the markers in the Location section on the Device Details page. I will close this request for now, but if there additions that you would like to see, please do not hesitate to reach out to us or submit a new suggestion.

  5. Possibility to lock account name during enrollment

    LockPrimaryAccountInfo and put use of the saml login name
    from:
    https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/accountconfigurationcommand/command

    and if possible collect the users full name from the saml login.

    LockPrimaryAccountInfo is now available as of macOS 10.15.4. Earlier versions of macOS have a bug that prevents this feature from functioning reliably.

    SAML attributes can be saved to a device’s custom attributes. Under the “Authentication” tab in Enrollment details, SAML authentication types include an option to “Allow provider to set custom attributes”.

  6. API: Retrieve one Custom Attribute

    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/{DEVICE_ID}/custom_attribute_values/{CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTE_ID}

    Response: as it is when retrieving all:

    {
    data: [
    {
    type: customattributevalue,
    id: nameofattribute,
    attributes: {
    value: valueofattribute
    }
    ]
    }

    Since this request was submitted, we did add this API: https://simplemdm.com/docs/api/#get-values-for-device


    This will return all custom attributes for a device (so you would just need to parse the response to get the specific attribute you are looking for).


    I believe this should allow you to accomplish your goals so I will close this request, but if it does not, please do not hesitate to reach out to us and/or submit another suggestion.

  7. Pull (available) MAC Addresses from supervised devices to improve device onboarding

    Currently, SimpleMDM by default pulls the WiFi MAC address for all supervised devices, but does not pull ethernet MAC address.

    During our device onboarding process, some of our Apple devices do not configure themselves over Wifi, and hence it is more valuable for us to pull the eth card MAC address instead (which now has to be manually copied by hand/scanned from device packaging/pulled from Network settings in MacOS).

    We would like the option for SimpleMDM to retrieve both the WiFi and ethernet MAC Address (if available) for all supervised devices.

    iOS 13+ and macOS 10.15+ will provide MAC addresses for additional devices beyond just the wireless network interface.

  8. Make "Consumed Licenses" available via API

    Make the consumed device licenses in SimpleMDM available via the API, in a new call or perhaps available via the account payload.

    This could be extended to plan details. The argument could be made that this count could be inferred from number of active devices... I don't see why this couldn't be its own API endpoint, returning an example such as:

    The map tooltip now includes coordinates after the timestamp.

  10. Add notification payload support for macOS

    10.15 Beta 6 adds ability to parse notification payload (from iOS) on macOS. This is useful for whitelisting management apps that we always want to be able to show notifications to users.

  13. IKEv2 VPN support

    It doesn't look like IKEv2 connection type is supported in the UI. This would be useful with attribute support so that we can add accounts per device and have the username and password assigned in the profile.

  15. Store the remote lock/wipe PIN in the SimpleMDM webUI somewhere

    At the moment, when you send a remote lock/wipe command - you're required to set a PIN. But that PIN isn't retained by SimpleMDM... which means you're trusting ME to do it... ;)

    But more seriously - it would great for that PIN to be viewable in SimpleMDM. My use case? Service desk admin sends a remote lock for a stolen device, finishes their shift, goes home.

    Laptop is found, someone else on helpdesk can pick up the ticket, retrieve the PIN, and send it on to the end user.

    Lock/Wipe PINs are now saved by SimpleMDM. They can be retrieved from the device details screen and the deleted device details screen.

  16. Add suppression of ScreenTime popup on login

    ScreenTime pops up when logging into a Catalina machine.
    Can the key for that be available in the DEP and profile settings to suppress?

    The home screen layout has been expanded to support up to 30 icons, as became available in iPadOS 13.

    Apple does not currently support configuration of the Today View via MDM.

  19. Clarify interactions between "Delay OS update availability" and "OS Auto Update Policy"

    We had iOS devices updated unexpectedly to iOS 13, even though we had "Delay OS update availability" to 90 days.

    Thanks to a deep investigation by Eric, we realized that the "Delay OS update availability" option applies only to the user updates. And that setting gets ignored when an "OS Auto Update Policy" is set.

    To prevent others from making the same mistake we made, I suggest you change the label description of "Delay OS update availability" on the device restriction profile, to make it explicit that this will only apply to user updates. How about something like "Delay OS…

    Thanks for your feedback. A note has been added in the Restrictions profile that will appear shortly.

  20. Include DEP status in CSV Export

    A column indicating whether the device is enrolled via DEP would be a helpful addition to the CSV export.
