You can configure the Wi-Fi settings, which needs to be distributed to the devices. After configuring the Wi-Fi settings, the profile needs to be associated to the devices/groups.
To ease the Wi-Fi configuration process, you can add all the required Wi-Fi configurations to a single profile. This will ensure the device connects to any of the specified Wi-Fi networks when in it's vicinity. It also reduces the chances of the device being unmanaged, in case connection to Wi-Fi networks not distributed by MDM, is restricted.
