This reference lists every configuration type available under Apple → Configurations → DDM →
New, on the Configurations tab. For asset types (the Assets tab in the same picker), see
DDM Assets.
The picker itself lists every type alphabetically, in a single grid — the categories below are
groupings for this reference, not a distinction CapaOne’s UI makes. Beta and Supervised
only tags are shown as-is in the picker. Supervised only means the configuration has no
effect on Unsupervised (BYOD) devices; see Endpoint Management
Modes for the Supervised/Unsupervised split.

- This list reflects the picker as of today — Apple and CapaOne both add configuration types
over time. If a type you expect isn’t listed here, check the live picker at Apple →
Configurations → DDM → New.
- Not every configuration needs an asset — most types in this list are self-contained. Only
reach for DDM Assets when a configuration needs
to reference a credential, identity, or stored data.
