New Features and Enhancements

Healthcare Listener App Refresh gives healthcare systems a new, faster option to uninstall and reinstall managed apps on a device between patients. While the standard Healthcare Listener workflow uses the Wipe remote command workflow to clear devices between each user, App Refresh uninstalls and reinstalls managed apps only. This provides a faster way to refresh specific app content, and prepare a device for the next patient without requiring a full reset. In-house books deployed to iPads are also reinstalled with App Refresh. This ensures that a patient's notes or highlights within those books are cleared automatically.

For end users, App Refresh enhances the Healthcare Listener experience by removing all Setup Assistant prompts that come after a device reset (e.g., Language, Region, WiFi). This ensures that devices are configured past the Hello screen and ready for immediate use without any manual touch. For administrators, the entire refresh workflow is shortened, and the device remains online and managed in Jamf Pro, providing device visibility throughout the entire process.

To access this feature in Jamf Pro, navigate to Settings > Server Infrastructure > Infrastructure Managers > Healthcare Listener. Click New Healthcare Listener Rule, and then select App Refresh.

You can view dependency reports for smart groups to identify where you are using smart groups in Jamf Pro. This report gives you the data needed to decide how to best use the smart groups in your environment and provides a more organized and better experience in Jamf Pro.

To view this report, navigate to one of the following areas, select a specific smart group, and click the Reports tab. A table is displayed listing any dependencies of the smart group:

The Jamf Pro Summary also lists the number of dependencies for a smart group.

If you try to delete a smart group that has dependencies, Jamf Pro displays a pop-up dialog summarizing the items that are dependent on the selected smart group. Right-click the links provided in the pop-up dialog to open them in a new tab and navigate to the dependencies to make updates.

Starting with Jamf Pro 10.39.0, if you try to delete a smart group that is scoped to a deployable object, Jamf Pro also recognizes it as a dependency that must be resolved prior to deleting.

The redesign of Jamf Pro's User-Initiated Enrollment page improves the user experience for administrators who configure enrollment restrictions and workflows for devices enrolled via Device Enrollment or User Enrollment. Improvements include the following:

To access this feature in Jamf Pro, go to Settings > Global Management > User-Initiated Enrollment.

Translated documentation will follow in an upcoming release.
