How to use Global Profile Variables
Global Profile Variables can be used inside of any text field within a Kandji Profile, as well as within any custom profile. Global Profile Variables work for all device types. Variables can also be used multiple times in the same field.
In this example, we used the Conference Room Display Mode Profile. Simply enter the desired variable you wish to use in the text field of the profile you are modifying and save. When deployed, the Apple TV will display it's Asset Tag as defined in Kandji..png)
