Key Points
Device groups are used to organize computers and mobile devices in Jamf Pro.

There are two types of groups for computers and mobile devices in Jamf Pro static groups and smart groups.

Static groups have fixed membership. Devices must be added or removed manually.

Examples of static device groups include

A cart of iPads for a classroom

A computer lab full of Mac Pros

Test devices

Smart groups are created with a set of criteria and dynamically populated with devices.

Examples of smart groups include

iPads with the latest version of iOS installed

Mac computers that do not have FileVault enabled

iOS devices that have not updated inventory in more than two weeks

For smart mobile device groups, wallpapers can be sent to devices using the Automated Management tab.

Group membership can be monitored from the Jamf Pro Dashboard.
