New Mobile Device Management Integrations: Jamf & Mosyle

Once device and user data are synced, FMX users can deploy one-to-one devices, manage device assignments, view device data, and create IT tickets in one platform when paired with 1:1 Asset Manager.

Facility Inspection Tool (FIT)

Use the Facility Inspection Tool (FIT) to manage your school's condition. 

Use the tool to schedule your school's FIT inspections. When inspections are completed, the data will be used to auto-generate a FIT report to document your school’s condition annually. 

The FIT report adheres to California State standards and can be directly exported and sent to the State.
