OS Build Version not available as export column — use Device Report instead

Android

If you need to export OS Build Version data for your devices, you can retrieve this information using the Device Report feature. The OS Build Version column is not available in the standard Devices & Groups list export, but Device Report provides a complete dataset including this field.

How to export OS Build Version data

1. In the Esper Console, go to Reports in the left-hand navigation menu.
2. Select Device Report.
3. Configure the report scope by selecting all devices or filtering to a specific group or set of devices as needed.
4. Generate and download the report in CSV format.
5. Open the downloaded CSV and verify that it includes the OS Build Version column along with other device metadata fields.

Export OS Build Version for a specific group

To scope the report to a subset of devices, use group-based filtering before generating the report. This narrows the dataset and makes the export faster to generate.

Retrieve OS Build Version programmatically

If you need to retrieve OS Build Version data at scale or automate the retrieval, use the Esper Device API instead of manual report generation.

Make a GET request to:

GET /v0/enterprise/{enterprise_id}/device/{device_id}/

The build_number field in the device detail response contains the OS Build Version.

Why OS Build Version is not in Devices & Groups export

The OS Build Version column is not available in the standard Devices & Groups list view export due to platform design constraints. However, this data is fully accessible through the Device Report feature, which exports a richer dataset than the list view export.
