Bulk Assignment
Assign hundreds of devices in minutes, not hours. Import CSV files and move devices in bulk.
Why You Need This
Assigning devices one at a time works for a few students, but what about back-to-school when you need to assign 500 devices? Or when you're reorganizing devices between buildings?
Bulk Assignment lets you import a CSV file with student-device pairings and assign them all at once. Export your current assignments to spreadsheet for reporting. Move multiple devices between OUs with a single operation.
The bulk assignment wizard validates your data before processing, catching errors like invalid serial numbers or missing students before they cause problems. You'll see exactly what will happen before confirming the operation.

Common Use Cases
Back-to-School Distribution
Export your student roster from your SIS, match students to device serial numbers, and import the CSV to assign all devices at once. What used to take days now takes minutes.
Building Reorganization
Moving devices from one building to another? Select all devices in an OU and move them to a new location in bulk, complete with policy updates.
Year-End Collection
Export all current assignments, then bulk-unassign devices as they're collected. Your records stay accurate throughout the collection process.
