Once you have added the JSON schema to a new configuration profile in Jamf Pro, you can use this guide to understand the purpose of each preference key.

If you have not yet added the JSON schema to Jamf Pro, please use the Adding the JSON Schema guide to do so before continuing.

The JSON schema profile is comprised of three main preference dictionaries; the General Options, the Scheduled Update Options and the Forced Update Options.
The scheduled and forced update options have identical preference keys that serve the same purpose for the scheduled and forced update mechanisms respectively, although the forced update options require fewer preferences.
This is partly because deferrals and grace periods for forced updates are configured on a per-app basis when you mark apps for forced updates, and partly because there is slightly less functionality required in the forced update feature.

Throughout the JSON schema profile preferences, some preferences are configured by default and others are not configured. Simply change the dropdown from Not Configured to Configured to configure the preferences that by default are not enabled.
