MDM Command History Content Pack

Description

The MDM Command History Content Pack installs ready-made Reports and a dashboard for reviewing Apple MDM command activity in FileWave.

Use it to inspect recent commands, connect profile identifiers with profile names, see which apps and profiles are being deployed, and find devices with repeated command problems.
