Requirements

To monitor iBeacon Regions, you need:

• Devices with iOS 7 or later

• A Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) capable iOS device
  Bluetooth Low Energy is available on iPhone 4S or later, iPad 3rd generation or later, and iPad Mini 1st generation or later

• Bluetooth enabled

• Jamf School Student app installed on devices and managed by Jamf School (For more information, Configuring the Jamf School Student App in Jamf School.)

• Location Services enabled

• One or more iBeacon devices

Creating an iBeacon Region

1. In Jamf School, navigate to Organization > Settings in the sidebar.

2. Select the iBeacons payload.

3. Click Add iBeacon.

4. Enter the name and an optional description for the iBeacon you want to add.

5. Define the iBeacon region by specifying the UUID, and optionally the major and minor values.
   If the UUID is only specified, the major and minor values will be set as wild cards and the region will match any iBeacons with the same UUID. Similarly, if only the UUID and major value are specified, the minor value will be set as a wild card and the region will match any iBeacons with the same UUID and major value.

6. Click Save.

Using iBeacons in Smart Groups

You can use iBeacon Regions in smart groups. Once a device enters or exits a region, the smart group will automatically update and add or remove the device as a member.

1. In Jamf School, navigate to Devices > Device Groups in the sidebar.

2. Click + Add Group.

3. Enter the name and an optional description for the new group and ensure the Smart Group checkbox is selected.

4. Click Add.

5. Click the Members tab.

6. Click Add Filter.

7. Select “Nearby iBeacon(s)” as the rule and select which iBeacon should trigger an enter or exit region event.
   You can specify more than one iBeacon. Any device becomes a member of the smart group if the device is near one of the specified iBeacons.

8. Click Save Scope.
