You can assign a unique attribute as the device name for a supervised iOS device using [Substitution variables for compliance policy rules](docId\:g6yFWYaIf3uAAeYn4pFvT). By setting the device names using the Device Name policy, the device name is automatically applied to the iOS device when the device registers with Ivanti EPMM.

For more information, see [Device name policies](docId\:AYVHryluomyn5WJFiBrUW)
