Mass Look up Purchasing Information from GSX
This allows you to look up and populate purchasing information from Apple’s Global Service Exchange
(GSX).
To utilize this feature, a GSX connection must be set up in the JSS. For more information on setting up this
connection, see the section entitled “Integrating with GSX”.
Note: GSX lookups may not always return complete purchasing information. The lookup only returns
information available in GSX.
To perform a mass GSX lookup:
1. Log in to the JSS with a web browser.
2. Click the Inventory tab.
3. Perform a simple or advanced computer search.
4. Choose “Look up Purchasing Info in GSX” from the Take Action on Results pop-up menu. Then, click Go.
The progress of the lookup is displayed onscreen.
5. When the results are displayed, click the Update Records button to populate the information in the JSS.
Then, click Continue to confirm.
6. If the results state that the JSS is already up-to-date, click the Cancel button.
Mass Emailing Users
Mass emails are a convenient way to notify users of an upcoming software upgrade, a full drive, or another
issue.
Mass emails are sent from the SMTP server that is specified in the JSS. If you have not specified an SMTP
server, see the section entitled “Enabling Email Notifications” for instructions on how to do so.
To mass email users:
1. Log in to the JSS with a web browser.
2. Click the Inventory tab.
