SureMDM allows IT Admin(s) to deploy Custom Property or Device Property wildcards in all the text fields, such as URL of file transfer Job, Installation, Text Messages, Notification Policy and indeed various settings of SureProducts anywhere inside the Jobs/Profiles where text field can be entered or edited.
However, when IT Admin(s) configure the new value for custom properties from the SureMDM console, they need to re-apply the same Job to have the updated settings on the device side.
Purpose
The purpose of this knowledge article is to provide a guide on how to configure causal Job on the SureMDM console.
Prerequisites
- Causal Job helps IT Admin(s) to overcome this issue and dynamically updates the Custom Property values on all the text fields which are configured inside the Jobs/Profiles whenever any new values are applied from the SureMDM Web console.
