Step 1: Export a list of computers and devices from Jamf.
1. Create an Advanced Inventory Search for Computers and/or Devices
Log into Jamf Pro, under Computers and/or Devices, select Search Inventory and click the “+ New” button to create an Advanced Search.
The next view has 4 tabs: Search Criteria Display Reports
2. Search tab
Save and name this Advanced Search for future use or reference.
Then move on to the next tab…
3. Criteria tab
Here is where we set the rules to define which devices should be included in Search Report. For example, you can use attributes like model, management status, location, ownership or any other inventory criteria.
To add a criterion, click on the “+ Add” button and select the attribute, operator, and value for the rule.
The most common criteria (i.e. “Model”) are listed by default, so to select specific parameters such as device age by purchase date (i.e. “PO Date”), ownership, Activation Lock, Carrier Network, lease status, etc. you may need to select “Show Advanced Criteria.”
In this example, we’ll look for devices that were purchased over 600 days ago, so the rule would be
criteria: PO Date
operator: more than x days ago
value: 600
You can add multiple criteria to narrow down the group using “All” or “Any” logic to determine whether all or any of the criteria must be met for a device to be included in the results.
