Microsoft Endpoint Manager - filters & the settings catalog!

Making it easier to apply settings on different device types with filters

Filters let you maximize your current asset investments while protecting data on personal, company-owned, and shared devices. The settings catalog makes it easier to customize, set, and manage device and user policy settings. This month - we combined the two! Now, you can have a settings profile and then use filters when assigning it!

In addition, this month we have also deepened our investment in both filters and settings catalog by adding support for the Enrollment Profile Name property in filters for Android Enterprise. Use filters to target devices based on different properties, such as device name and manufacturer.

Last month, I shared what filters and settings catalog enables you to achieve. This month, I’d like to share more about our motivation to integrate these capabilities. Here’s what one of our customers specifically requested – just two examples of why we did this integration:

• Use filters in compliance policies, if for example, you have different compliance policies for Windows HoloLens devices than you do for Windows desktop endpoints.
• Use applicability rules in the settings catalog, in the event you have different configuration profiles for Windows HoloLens devices than you do for Windows desktop endpoints.
