Understanding Catalog App Management in Devicie

Overview:
Devicie's application catalog provides customers with a list of applications that are automatically packaged directly from the publisher via Devicie's platform. This article describes how users can browse, assign, and deploy catalog applications from the Devicie portal.

Key Capabilities:

Select one or multiple apps from the Devicie catalog to deploy in your environment

Ability to configure application assignments

Ability to directly edit assignments associated with deployed catalog applications

How to Access:

1. Navigate to Apps > App Catalog

The 'Deployed' tab lists all Devicie catalog apps that are currently deployed in your tenant
The 'Not Deployed' tab lists all Devicie catalog apps that are available to deploy in your tenant

2. Select ‘Deploy Apps’

3. Navigate to the ‘Select applications’ dropdown selection to select the desired application/s from the Devicie catalog list and select next

You can select one or multiple apps from the Devicie catalog list to deploy to your tenant at the same time

4. Edit Assignments and relevant configurations

Intent - Intent of the assignment - Required, Available, Uninstall
- Required applications are installed automatically and do not require action from the end user. Even in the event of an uninstall by the end user, the required application will install again on the device within 8 hours.
- Available applications do not install automatically. Instead, they will be available to install through Company Portal. The end user can click on the application and install it on their device.
- Uninstall intent will remove the application from all assigned devices.
Delay - Delay time between when an update is released and when it is assigned to devices
Group Mode - Include/exclude assignment group
Group Name - Select group the application should be assigned to
Filter Mode - Include/exclude certain devices.
Filter Name - Select filter that should be included or excluded
Notification - Choose whether users see Intune agent toast notifications during the update process.

Note: Devicie will poll your Intune tenant to bring in all available groups and filters. If you need a new group or filter, you can create this in your tenant and then use the refresh button to pull in a fresh list to select from without losing your place in the wizard.

Use cases for multiple app assignments

You are able to apply separate assignments for each catalog app
You are able to set multiple group assignments with different delays to the one app in order to stagger wider release of updates.

Assignment Rules:

Each group can only be assigned once.
Filters can only be applied to Include groups.
A delay of at least 24 hours is recommended to avoid user disruption.
Notifications are required for Include groups and disabled for Exclude groups.
The Uninstall intent cannot target 'All Users' or 'All Devices' when excluding.

5. Review applications and assignments. Once confirmed, press ‘Deploy’.
