What are Applivery interpolation tags?

Interpolation tags are dynamic variables that personalize device configurations, scripts, and policies with user or device-specific data. They are automatically replaced with real values during deployment.

Where are interpolation tags supported in Applivery?

Interpolation tags are supported in configuration values within the Applivery Dashboard, marked with a specific symbol, excluding those inside scripts.

What device information can I use with interpolation tags?

You can use device ID (`{{device.id}}`), display name (`{{device.displayName}}`), serial number (`{{device.serialNumber}}`), OS version (`{{device.osVersion}}`), and more.

What user information can I use with interpolation tags?

You can use user ID (`{{user.id}}`), email (`{{user.email}}`), name (`{{user.name}}`), and custom metadata (`{{user.metadata.PROPERTY}}`).

How can I create a unique incremental counter with leading zeros?

Use `{{incremental:N}}`, where N is the number of leading zeros (1-10). For example, `{{incremental:3}}` will generate 001, 002, 003, etc.

What is the purpose of the `{{incremental}}` tag?

The `{{incremental}}` tag provides a global incremental counter for deployments, starting from 1, useful for generating unique identifiers.

How does Applivery use interpolation tags during deployment?

Applivery automatically replaces each interpolation tag with its corresponding value from the device or user record when a configuration or script is deployed.

Applivery Dynamic Variables: Personalize Device Configurations

Applivery supports a set of Interpolation Tags, also known as Dynamic Variables, that allow administrators to automatically personalize and adapt device configuration profiles, scripts, Smart Enrollments, and Policies with user- or device-specific data. These tags are dynamically replaced at deployment time, enabling organizations to deliver flexible, context-aware configurations across all managed Devices without requiring manual input.

What are Interpolation Tags?

Interpolation tags are placeholders that can be embedded within configuration values. When a profile, policy, or script is deployed to a Device, Applivery automatically replaces each tag with the corresponding real value retrieved from the Device or user record. This allows IT administrators to automate personalized deployments at scale—streamlining configuration management and minimizing human error.

In the Applivery Dashboard, all fields and input areas that support interpolation (except those inside scripts) are marked with the interpolation symbol:

Note

Fields without this visual indicator do not support interpolation and will treat any input as plain text, depending on the specific field type.

When a configuration or script is deployed to a Device, Applivery automatically replaces each interpolation variable with its corresponding real value from the Device or user record. This process streamlines the management of large device fleets by applying customized settings to each endpoint automatically.

Supported interpolation variables

Variable	Description	Format
`{{device.id}}`	Unique device identifier.	String
`{{device.displayName}}`	Device display name (as configured in Applivery).	String
`{{device.serialNumber}}`	Device hardware serial number.	String
`{{device.osVersion}}`	Operating system version installed on the Device.	String
`{{device.chip}}`	Device processor or chipset information.	String
`{{device.isAppleSilicon}}`	Boolean indicating whether the Device uses Apple Silicon.	true/false
`{{device.hostName}}`	Hostname reported by the Device.	String
`{{device.udid}}`	Unique UDID assigned to the Device.	String
`{{user.id}}`	Unique Applivery employee identifier.	String
`{{user.email}}`	Applivery employee email address.	String
`{{user.name}}`	Full name of the Applivery employee.	String
`{{user.metadata.PROPERTY}}`	Custom metadata value for the Applivery employee.	String
`{{incremental}}`	Global incremental counter for deployments, starting from 1.	1,2,3, n…
`{{incremental:N}}`	Fixed-length incremental counter with N leading zeros (N = 1–10), useful for generating unique tags.	N=1 (01,02,03…), N2 = (001, 002, 003…), etc.
