This enhancement means that you can target a wider range of devices at once with a single firmware policy, eliminating the need to create a new firmware policy for each unique combination of device model, sales code, and CSC. This feature helps you manage firmware for a fleet of devices with a wide range of models, sales codes, and CSCs.
