Display the device description on the Homepage

Question

Hello,

I want to customize the Homepage-title of the managed Devices, so i see the Device-ID and the Description.

I used the Variables "deviceId" and "description". (like suggested in the empty Variable-line)
The DeviceID is displayed but the Description of the Devices seems to be blank.
I thought, it will show the individual Description of the Device.
Do i have to use an other Variable?

Thanks!

By default, the device description is not being sent to the device. 

To enable the device description in the desktop title, open Settings - General and Language settings, and set the checkbox "Send description to devices". 

After making these changes, force the configuration update on the device by clicking the button on the Headwind MDM desktop, or reboot the device.
