Internal leveling at your School

The new school year is upon us and it is time to perform internal leveling to prepare your previous iPad deployment to fit the needs of this year’s enrollment numbers.  

What is leveling?
Internal leveling is the process through which you move iPads from one cart to another to accommodate a change in grade level or class enrollment numbers. Schools should make sure their carts have the right number of iPads at the start and end of each school year.

How do I complete this process?
To successfully complete internal leveling, it is critical to follow these two steps:
  1. Using Configurator, properly unsupervise an iPad from its cart before removing it and placing into another.
  2. Once iPads are placed into a new cart they must be supervised to the MacBook assigned to the new cart.

There are a few logistical elements you need to keep in mind before performing any internal leveling:
  • The Apple Block needs to be lifted for your building.
    • Your principal should call the IT Service Desk and request to lift the blocks, communicating a date and timeframe.
  • Only iPads being moved between carts need to be unsupervised. 
    • Do not unsupervise the remaining iPads.
  • When an iPad is unsupervised all apps and content on it are deleted.
  • When an iPad is supervised, Configurator requires that the latest iOS (e.g. iOS 10.3.2) is installed.

To assist you with internal leveling, look at our document on Supervising iPads.
