Import a device list to Profile Manager
Instead of adding devices to Profile Manager one at a time, you can upload a file in comma-separated value (.csv) format.
After the file is uploaded, placeholders for each of the devices appear in the device list. The file has certain requirements and options:
The column titles can’t contain spaces.
The device name and at least one additional identifier is required for each device.
The file can be a mix of any number or type of character identifiers for each device name and can contain kanji characters.
iOS and iPadOS requirements
For iOS and iPadOS (with cellular capability) devices, these identifiers appear in Settings > General > About. On a Mac, you can find them in iTunes (in macOS 10.14 and earlier) or—if the device is connected to the Mac—in the Finder (in macOS 10.15 or later):
DeviceName
SerialNumber
IMEI
MEID
UDID
In addition to DeviceName, one other identifier is required.
macOS requirements
These identifiers appear when you choose Apple Menu > About This Mac:
DeviceName
SerialNumber
Apple TV requirements
These identifiers appear on Apple TV when you go to Settings > General > About. Press or swipe up on the remote until the ID is displayed:
DeviceName
Bonjour Device ID (similar to a Media Access Control (MAC) address ID, such as ab:12:ab:12:ab:12)
Import the file

sidebar, select Devices.Click the Add button
