Push out OS update

First of all, excuse my ignorance. My knowledge of Jamf has come from trial and error and believe me when I say, there's been a lot of it.

Most off of our MacBook Airs are on 10.12. I'd like to update them (about 1200) to 10.14. Is there an easy way to do this through Jamf or do I need to touch each one?

Thank you for ay assistance and I apologize if this isn't just an easy answer. :)

Might want to take a look at this thread to start: https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/29234/jamf-pro-upgrade-methods-for-mojave
In short, there aren't many great methods of doing an automated/unattended upgrade, though still possible. It's best to let the users upgrade on their time through a Self Service policy, which you will find examples of in that thread.

For my unattended upgrade, I have a policy that stages the installer in /Applications then have a Files and Processes piece that runs

/Applications/Install macOS Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/startosinstall" --applicationpath "/Applications/Install macOS Mojave.app" --rebootdelay 0 --nointeraction --agreetolicense &

In my very limited testing it works, once the semester ends I hoping to expand the test. I also have a policy in Self Service for users to do on their own.
