Jamf School is a must for asset management.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our organization uses Jamf School for assigning iPads and MacBooks to teachers and students. We also use it to choose which app each device gets based on what groups or classes they are assigned in Jamf School. By assigning devices to specific people we are able to track the device if ever lost and limit what can be added or removed from specific devices.
