Important: The App Catalog only displays applications
marked by administrators as visible during the app policy configuration. After
adding apps to your App Policy, verify that applications are manageable through the
app policy by reviewing the Visible in App Catalog column.
Configure apps if required by selecting the three dots and perform a device check-in
to reflect these changes.
The App Catalog application installs on your Windows Modern devices with the SOTI MobiControl Windows Modern Device Agent application. It streamlines
app management and distribution, allowing administrators to configure and deploy apps
through SOTI MobiControl. End users access and install them via the
App Catalog application interface. It also enhances visibility and control over enforced
and optional apps, ensuring efficient management and reducing user confusion.
App Catalog categorizes deployed applications based on their sources into the following:
Modern Enterprise Apps (MSIX/ APPX)
Microsoft Store Apps
Classic Apps (MSI)
Executables (EXE)
Application Tabs
When using an Application Catalog, switch between the following tabs to view your
applications:
All Apps: This view includes your App
Library listing all available applications as deployed in the
App Policy.
Installed Apps: This view lists only installed
applications.
Application Views
Choose between a Grid or a List layout
by selecting their toggles as desired. The List view offers the
same information as the Grid view, such as applications' names,
types, sources, versions, and descriptions, except in a list form. Additionally, you
can filter applications by their source when viewing them in
List view.
Tip: Use the search bar to search for specific
applications if needed.
App Cards
Selecting an application card opens a centred pop-up window with detailed app
information, including app name, description, version, app source, build, seller,
supported devices, and an INSTALL option.
Installing Applications
Required or mandatory applications install automatically, while users can choose to
install Optional applications based on their requirements. Install applications by
selecting the INSTALL option next to them in the app card or
the Grid and List views.
Tip: Users can install more than one application
by selecting checkboxes for each application and then selecting
INSTALL at the bottom of the screen.
