Description

  • Last update on September 26th, 2024

Descriptions are pulled from the Entra ID description.

Description shown in the Reconcile page.

If you sign into Microsoft Entra ID and add a description there, Configuration Manager will sync that information into the app and update the description accordingly.

Edit description

You can edit the description in Configuration Manager. To do this, click on the three dots icon and select “Edit Description“.

  • If the configuration item has a description field in the target service (Entra ID, SharePoint, Intune, etc.) the edited description in Configuration Manager will be deployed to your tenant. The changes will be automatically updated during the next Sync.
  • If the configuration item has not a description field in the target service (Entra ID, SharePoint, Intune, etc.), the description will only be applied locally in Configuration Manager.

Configuration Manager template
