I've been tasked with the pain staking job of documenting JAMF, how each policy works, what are it's dependancies like Smart Groups, EAs, Packages etc.
I'm intrigued how others have done it and whether anyone would be willing to share a template perhaps?
Obviously we use Code commit which is fine for techies but I need to cater for non techies too.

Hello @srini I thought I sent you an email yesterday, did it not get through? If not, send me another email, I will see if I mistyped something.

@PeterG Aah, yes, process is so important.
@JarvisUno Process is your friend!
@mconners This is so popular perhaps you could just throw up a sample page somewhere abstracting out your proprietary secrets and link it here... might be faster than replying to a bunch of emails! :-)

Like @jstillio, my team transitioned to Office 365 OneNote for almost all our team documentation. We created an Office 365 Group for the IT Team, and it automatically provisioned a OneNote group notebook. Then, every member of the team has access to this notebook from the OneNote desktop app, the web, the MS Teams collaboration app, and mobile OneNote app.
We create sections for each major topic. For example, we have sections on JamfPro, Office 365 Management, RHEL/CentOS, MacOS, VPN, etc. Under each section, we have pages that cover a specific sub-topic. Some of them are full-on step-by-step instructions, and some are just helpful commands and explanations.
OneNote has enabled us to have nicely formatted documentation with graphics, external reference URLs, and we can even drop in PDFs. It's been very handy when you're in the server room, and need to look up something quick from the smartphone.

Thank you Everyone for the tremendous response to my offer. I am more than thrilled to share what I have assembled. It was suggested I put together a session for JNUC 2020 on HOW I did the documentation I have. I am attempting to make that a reality. There were many different steps I performed and maybe documenting the documentation is a good next step.

@mconners Looks like I'm even later to the game. I would like to be able to document what has been done on our Jamf server so I can remember how and why things were done. I would also like to see your documentation for ideas and how others have documented their Jamf configurations, policies, profiles, etc. I will send you an email. Thank you very much.

Hi @mconners sorry, but can I jump on the bandwagon as well? I need to document our Jamf implementation, and I honestly don't know where to start!

Funny enough I post here often enough its as though I'm documenting my issues. Half the time I have a problem I'll do a search here and find that I solved my own problem in years past and luckily I posted my solution here. Lol.

Hi all, I've just stumbled across this thread and after emailing @mconners I received an Out of Office to let me know he has retired. I was wondering if anyone would please be able to share the document template? Many thanks.

Watched the video, but the comments are turned off and there's no link to his documentation which is what some of us would like to use to base ours around instead of writing 100,000 word version from scratch.

So, does anyone still have the last version of @mconner's document?
