Application

This section describes the configuration settings for applications.

Title

The Title (name) of the application by naming conventions.

Collection Names

The naming conventions for collection names.

Collection Refresh Schedules

The refresh schedules for collections.

Deployment Option

Specifies the deployment option that should be pre-selected for applications by default. Possible values are:

• One install deployment, one uninstall deployment (default)
• Two install deployments, one uninstall deployment
• One install deployment, no uninstall deployment
• Two install deployments, no uninstall deployment
• No deployments, application only

Detection Rule Templates

In order not to re-enter application detection rules each time, these rules can be stored as templates. There are two types of rules that are supported:

1. Windows Installer

This setting will be used in conjunction with msi files. When specifying the Product Code, the place holder {GUID} can be specified, see naming conventions.

2. Registry

This setting often is used in the context of so-called package branding. It specifies a separate path in the registry where information about an installed product is stored. Place holders can be used for the Key and Value, see naming conventions.

You can create any number of rules for each template, which are then linked with AND/OR.

Distribution Point Group

The distribution point group to use for the application.

Folder

The startup folders for the applications and the collections are specified here:

Folder Paths

The path information for applications and collections by naming conventions. The individual elements of a path must be separated by a backslash (\), as in the file system as well.
