I have been working on jamf setup manager and wanted to get some inspiration and see the creativity of other minds in the community. Currently I just have it wait for user entry for the users email and machine name and then it installs chrome enterprise and office 365. I want to try some role based access and install applications depending on the role of the user entered in the beginning, I got some ideas brewing.

I do much the same thing, I just have more install during that process, and I ask for asset tag and location.  One thing I’ve been considering doing is if the asset tag exists already just skipping that or having it pre-filled in.  Just haven’t got around to it.

How would you have it pre-filled in? That’s interesting

@Jerez1lla probably programmatically.  Loosely:

if $assettag exists then $displaytag=$assettag else $displaytag=$placeholder

I am not an expert at coding, so I’d probably do trial and error and get AI to help me.

The above is not meant to be the exact code.  Just an example of the logic.

Might not be possible.  Just a thought in my brain.  Might not be possible in Pre-stage though.  Just a thought.  I’ll dig into it later.  My knee jerk would be an API call to determine if serial number exists and if it has an asset tag.  If so use that variable as per above.

Awesome idea!
