Kiosk and shared devices naming convention

The scope comes first, so kiosk policies sort together.

The pattern

Scope - Platform - Policy type - Purpose - Ring

KIOSK-WIN-CONF-AssignedAccess-PRD

33 of 64 characters for a policy or profile

Parts are joined with “-”. In the builder you can change every value, the separator and the order, add parts and remove them.

When to use it

For kiosks, shared PCs and other devices that do not belong to one person. The scope at the front keeps their policies together and apart from the standard set.

  • These profiles are assigned to devices: there is no user to target.
  • Name the kind of kiosk: single app, multi app, digital signage.
