This lets you create multiple configurations with different Device Profiles for various departments in your organization and easily invite and track enrollments. This enrollment method lets you enroll the devices via User Invites; if you want to enroll Company Owned Devices without any user management, please refer to our Enroll Company Owned Devices. ## Before you Begin 1. Make sure you completed the APNs upload part as per the [Setting Up APNs](/docs/setting-up-apns-in-scalefusion) guide. 2. Make sure you have at least one Device Profile as per the [Create a Mac Device Profile](/docs/macos-device-profile) guide. 3. Make sure that you have [added Users](/docs/user-management) that you want to Invite. ### Steps ## Creating a QR Code Configuration 1. Once you are logged into Dashboard, navigate to **Enrollment Configurations > QR Code Configurations** 2. Click on **CREATE** to open the QR Code configuration wizard. 3. Under the **Basic** tab, provide the following details, and click **NEXT** 1. **Configuration Name:** A name for this configuration 2. **Enrollment Type:** Choose Personal (BYOD) if you want to invite users. 3. **Device Naming Convention:** Choose a naming convention that will be used to auto-generate device names when the devices are enrolled. 1. **Use OS Name:** If this is selected, then the device names are pre-fixed with the OS name. 2. **Set Device Name on iOS & macOS devices:** Users can choose to Set the device name on the device during enrollment.

For each custom field following can also be configured from here: 1. **Allow:** Shows or hides the custom field to the user 2. **Required:** Select if the field is optional or required. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/175c0eac-012f-4410-bdc5-ac60794f82d8/Images/Documentation/image-1718022262826.png) 6. **Optional Settings:** These settings are for Android devices.
