Jamf-Concepts/Setup-Manager v1.1

on GitHub

New Features

• new action waitForUserEntry which allows for two-phase installation workflows in Jamf Pro. When Setup Manager reaches this action it will wait for the user entry to save the data entry, then it will run a recon/Update Inventory. Policy actions that follow this, can then be scoped to data from the user entry. (#11)
• data from user entry is now written to a file when Setup Manager submits data. See details in User Entry (#9)
• use token substitution in the title, message, and action label values (as well as computerNameTemplate)
• token substitution can extract center characters with :=n
• localization of custom text in the configuration profile has been simplified. The previous method still works, but is considered deprecated. Details in the documentation. The plist and profile example files have been updated.

Beta features

Even though we are confident that the 1.1 release is overall stable and ready to be used in production, we believe this feature may require more testing. When, after thorough testing in your environment, you conclude this works for your workflow, please let us know about success or any issues you might encounter.

• Setup Manager can now run over Login Window, instead of immediately after installation. This also allows Setup Manager to work with AutoAdvance. Use the new runAt key in the profile to determine when Setup Manager runs (#18)

Deprecations

These features are marked for removal in a future release:

• localized labels and text by adding the two-letter language code to key. Switch to localization with dictionaries.
• showBothButtons key and functionality
