All right, we're back inside Apple Configurator, and what I've done between this lesson and the last
one was reset that iPad that we've been playing with back to default.
So I'm back to the hello screen again.
And next, we're going to talk a little bit about how to configure an entire workflow using blueprints
so that we can manage our ongoing devices.
So same deal that I normally would do when I plug in a new device.
And I would go to update it and let it check for the update, which, of course, it's going to come
back and tell us that there's no updates required, which we knew just a best practice there.
Anyway, at this point, I could prepare the device.
I could add apps and other things manually this way.
But, you know, that's becomes very tedious when even though I've made that simpler than manually updating
every single device, you know, having to touch every single device manually, having to go in and,
you know, apply different settings, I can use profiles instead.
So I've already made this simpler, but I can make this even more simple and take even more of the human
error out of the process by using blueprints.
So we're going to go in here, we're going to hit edit blueprints and we don't have any right now.
So we're going to hit new down here in the corner.
We're going to call the standard iPad, because this is just going to be the one set up that we provide
to 90 percent of our devices.
This is not the math department.
Now, I can go ahead and do that.
I can also hit new and I can also do math department.
So I can have multiple different blueprints for each of my different use cases or styles that I want
to have.
So I'm going to just go ahead and have those two for right now and I'm just going to focus on the standard
iPad.
So once I've done that, I'll double click on it and it brings us into the blueprint editing screen
so I can choose different families here.
So since I called the standard iPad, I'm actually going to make it an iPad only family.
And over here on the left hand side, I have options here for info, for apps, for profiles, I'm going
to go ahead and start with profile.
I'm going to go ahead and add a profile.
And I'm going to do the my company profile.
So that's been added.
I'm going to add some apps as well, so I'm just going to go ahead and add and what it's doing here,
it may prompt you, is the first time you're using the may prompt you to go ahead and sign in with an
Apple ID.
I've gone ahead and done that, so I'm signed in as my own Apple ID here.
And so it shows me everything in my purchase history that I have.
So I'm just going to go ahead and add the Udemy app.
And I'm going to add one more app, I think, as well.
Let's do.
Let's see, let's do HBO, Game of Thrones, right, so we wouldn't have that, so now those will both
be installed on every standard iPad that we can figure.
So what have we done so far?
Well, we have set it up so that it automatically configures.
And you can see when I go back to enfold, show me how much space is being used and for what.
Right.
So I've got those things here.
Next, we're going to talk about actions.
So the next thing we're going to do here is go to the action menu and we're going to choose, prepare.
So remember, we've always had to prepare when we set up the device for the first time.
So this looks very much like the companies or prepare wizard that we use before.
So we're going to keep it a manual configuration where we keep it supervised.
We're not going to allow other devices to pair with the device, compare with other computers, not
control.
The MDM organization is my company.
And then, yeah, we've got language, we've got Siri.
So we have both of these here as well.
So we'll prepare their.
And then.
You've got that whole list so you can see how it's going to skip all these things and set up a system.
So now we've got that and the last thing I'm going to do.
Is put in a modified device name.
So this is pretty cool, I can name these anything I want so I can do my company iPad, right, so I
could have them all be on my company iPad and then I can go ahead and put some different things behind
it.
Right.
So, like no one.
So this is going to be basically a wild card token.
So every time I on board another one of these, the one is going to increment up.
But you can see of other options here as well, serial number type capacity port station.
So you can make those changes and basically name the devices automatically based on how you set these
tokens up.
So we're going to rename that one.
So that's getting added here, you can see under device, we'll add those.
And we're also going to modify the wallpaper, so I want all the wallpaper to basically be the same
so I can drag an image on here or whatever, so I've got my lock screen it up my home screen.
I can even do custom text if I like as well.
So I can say, you know.
And again, I have options here as a wild increment things up, if I like, can also display it as a
QR code.
So I'll say down to that.
Go ahead and choose a picture that I have on my desktop here, the colobus one, and you can see I can
zoom this in if I want to, but I'm good with the default.
You can see where it has my company iPad listed on here.
And I'm going to use the same image for the home screen as well.
So we'll hit apply to that.
Updating the blueprint now, you can see again, I've got my home screen, my lock screen wallpaper
as well.
All right, now I'm basically set, I have everything ready to go that I want to have set.
So my new process.
Is to be done here and back to my iPad that hasn't been set up yet.
Now, instead of having to do all these things manually, I'm going to go ahead and hit Blueprint Standard
iPad apply.
Right now that it's completed, I have a supervised device, you can see it's listed here, it's been
named my company, iPad one.
And let's go ahead and switch over and see what that experience is now for my user, what I'm handing
in the device.
All right, so I've ahead and unlock the device, it's prompting me for Siri and I continue to that.
Welcome to iPad.
We'll get started and as you can see right here, we are set to go.
We've got Udemy HBO now and the Help Desk icon on the desktop.
I have my wallpaper.
I can hit settings.
And I've got my supervised device by my company.
In my mobile config, profiles are installed.
So that's just how simple it is to set these up.
Really can simplify the experience for the user, still give them the ability to feel like they've got
a good out of box experience where they basically setting up the device themselves.
But you've basically guided the initial setup and some of the settings for them transparently.
So I really recommend that you guys spend some time playing around different configurations and blueprints.
Ideally, you would have a blueprint for every type of device in your organization and on boarding new
devices as simple as plugging them in and choosing a blueprint.
