Integration

Configuration → Integration has three tabs: Asset Data, Device Naming, and Azure AD Sync.

Integration → Asset Data

Pulls additional device information (such as asset tags matched to serial numbers) from an external source so MovoSuite can use it for naming and grouping.

  • Asset Data Integration — the source type (e.g. Excel).
  • SharePoint Site Name / Document Library Folder Path — for the Excel source, the SharePoint site and the folder holding your Excel asset files.
  • Auto-create Missing Groups — automatically create a device group if a device is assigned to one that doesn’t exist yet.
  • Enable Connection — turn on syncing MovoSuite data from this source.
  • Auto-create Missing Locations — automatically create locations when their short codes are missing from MovoSuite.

The import runs every 2 hours (or on demand) and merges asset records into MovoSuite by matching on serial number:

How asset data import works

When importing devices (here or via the Devices / Locations import), MovoSuite recognizes these columns:

ColumnPurpose
Device NameDesired display name for the device.
GradesOptional. Comma/semicolon-delimited grades, e.g. K,1,2 or K;1;2.
RoomOptional. Room assignment.
Location CodeOptional. Short code of the device’s location.
Device GroupsOptional. Comma/semicolon-delimited groups, e.g. Cart 1,Loaner Pool. Requires a location, since groups are bound to the location.
Asset TagOptional. The device’s asset tag.
Custom Group ValueOptional. A custom grouping value.
AutoPilot Group TagOptional. Value to set as the device’s AutoPilot Group Tag.

Integration → Device Naming

  • Device Naming Authority — which system is authoritative for device names (e.g. Excel).
  • Naming Conventions — pick an enrollment profile (DEP / Apple Automated Enrollment / AutoPilot profiles, synced from Intune every 2 hours), toggle Enabled for Movo Naming, and supply a naming format. Matching devices are renamed when they enroll or on the next sync.
  • Supported variables: %serialNumber%, %assetTag%, %deviceType%, %locationCode%, %room%.

Renaming itself runs on a schedule — see Scheduled actions.

At a glance, the rename automation works like this:

Integration → Azure AD Sync

  • Sync Device Data to Azure AD — write device data (asset tags, location short codes) to extension attributes on the Entra ID device object, useful for rule-based dynamic groups.
  • Sync Custom Value to Azure AD — write a custom value to an extension attribute for customized rule-based groups.

The extension-attribute sync runs hourly and only writes values that have changed:
