Naming Jamf Managed Devices in Carousel Cloud

The name that a player will display in the player dashboard when you use Jamf to connect an Apple TV, iPad, or Mac to your Carousel Cloud system can be specified in the app configuration payload. By default, the device name is used, however, any application payload variable can be used or combined with each other or static text, i.e. Site Name or Serial Number. For a complete list, view one of the following links:

Jamf Pro: https://docs.jamf.com/10.27.0/jamf-pro/administrator-guide/Mobile_Device_Configuration_Profiles.html
Jamf School: https://learn.jamf.com/en-US/bundle/jamf-school-documentation/page/Payload_Variables.html

Note: The naming functionality requires version 24 or newer of the Apple TV or iPad Carousel Cloud Player app.
