Can someone help me with a script for using Extension Attributes to tell me if Pages, Numbers, Keynote or iMovie are installed on our iMacs?

The version is not so important but would be useful.

Thanks.

What do you plan to use the Extension Attribute for? All of those will show up as applications that you can add to a Smart Group by name/title.

Thanks @Look I didn't think of that.

Is this right? I went into JSS -> Smart Computer Groups and created a new group, I set criteria to Licensed Software with the value Pages.app.

I did this and it has not picked up any computers.

I got it working! I didn't notice the 'Show Advanced Criteria' button in the Criteria tab. This time I selected Application Title and it is now picking up devices.

Thanks for the pointer.
