Jamf Pro

Our Jamf Pro integration feature allows you to connect your Asset Panda account to your Jamf Cloud account, pulling over records that you select.

This feature also allows you to define specific fields so that you can sync information from Asset Panda back to Jamf Pro. See Jamf Permissions to properly set your pre-existing and custom privileges. 

Click any of the following links to be taken directly to specific topics. (If this is your first time in setting up your Asset Panda and Jamf Pro integration, we recommend following the steps sequentially.) 

 

 

Jamf Pro is a third-party application and Asset Panda does not control updates made by Jamf. Please see the Jamf Resources: Product Documentation page for more information on how to use Jamf, and Jamf Pro | Mobile Security | Casper Suite | Jamf for more information on Jamf Pro.
