Import a device list

Instead of adding devices to Profile Manager one at a time, you can upload a file in comma-separated values (CSV) format.

Once the file is uploaded, placeholders for each of the devices appear in the device list. The file has certain requirements and options:

iOS requirements

For iOS devices, these identifiers appear in Settings > General > About and in iTunes when the device is connected:

In addition to DeviceName, one other identifier is required.

OS X requirements

These identifiers appear when you choose Apple Menu > About This Mac:

Apple TV requirements

These identifiers appear on Apple TV when you go to Settings > General > About. Press Up on the remote until the ID is displayed:

Import the file

  1. In the Profile Manager sidebar, select Devices.
