Integration (bulk admin)
The Integration Settings area of the MovoSuite interface includes comprehensive backend integration capabilities:
Core Integration Features
- Asset Integration. This feature enables ingestion of additional information (such as asset tag numbers for matching serial numbers) for shared iPad devices directly from service desk or Excel data sources. Supports both EBase Client and TOPdesk integrations.
- Naming Authority. This feature enables automated naming of shared iPads in Intune using the device naming format you specify under Naming Conventions. Includes PowerShell script integration for computer renaming.
- Naming Conventions. This feature enables customization of the naming of shared iPads in Intune, including location short codes or asset tag numbers. The naming conventions are defined on a per DEP profile or per AutoPilot profile basis, with support for variables for the short code for the device location, asset tag (if the device asset tag fields are populated), or serial number. If naming conventions are defined with a location variable, MovoSuite will attempt to extract the location code from device name for devices that aren’t already assigned to a location.

Excel Import
MovoSuite supports the following column values for Excel import and device naming. A sample template can be downloaded from here.
| Column Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Device Name | The desired display name for the device. |
| Grades | Optional. A backslash delimited list of grades this device is assigned to, e.g. ‘K\1\2’. |
| Room | Optional. The room this device is assigned to. |
| Location Code | Optional. The short code of the location this device is assigned to. |
| Device Groups | Optional. A backslash delimited list of device groups this device belongs to, e.g. ‘Cart 1\Loaner Pool’. Requires the device is also assigned to a location as the device groups are bound to the location. |
| Staff | Optional, currently unused. A 1 or a 0 indicating whether this device is a staff device (1 = yes). |
| Student | Optional, currently unused. A 1 or a 0 indicating whether this device is a student device (1 = yes). |
| Asset Tag | Optional. The asset tag for this device. |
| Custom Group Value | Optional. A custom grouping value. |
| AutoPilot Group Tag | Optional. A value to assign as the AutoPilot Group Tag for this device. |
For the Excel Import, MovoSuite has two additional flags:
- Auto-create Missing Locations. Enable this to automatically create locations if their short codes are missing from MovoSuite.
- Auto-create Missing Groups. Enable this to automatically create device groups if a device is assigned to a group that’s not yet created for the location.
