Package Settings
This page details the different settings available for deployed packages
Automation
For managed packages, you can use the Automation tab to configure automatic publishing of new version of packages from the package store to your environment.
Automate Main Channel - Automatically deploy new versions of this package to your users. ("Main" subscription)
Automate Preview Channel - Automatically deploy new versions of this package to your pilot users. ("Preview" subscription)
The Preview Channel will only advance to a newer software version after deploying the current version in Preview to the Main Channel.
This is intended behavior to ensure that a testing / review process using the Preview Channel is not accidentally invalidated by a newer software version entering Preview.
The Preview Channel will take the newest version available from the App Store pushing its current version to the main channel.
Recommendation:
Automate only Main Channel for software that can upgrade without prior testing, like web browsers from major vendors.
Automate only Preview Channel for software you want to test before deploying. Push the validated version to Main Channel after testing and start testing the next version in Preview.
You can always manually push a newer version available in Package Store directly to Preview or Main Channel to skip a version you don't want published.
... defer X days - Wait for this number of days to pass before publishing a new version to the channel. This is useful to avoid stress for users/clients if multiple package versions are published rapidly.
Deploy At Night - Schedule automatic deployment during nighttime
Select target timezone - If you use Deploy At Night, use this Time Zone to indicate when "at night" is.
These values can be globally preconfigured for newly imported packages in Settings. Configuring them on a per package basis will overwrite the global defaults.
Config
Technical Application Owners
You can assign multiple Technical Application Owners (TAO) to a package by storing their email-address to reach out. This is optional and currently is purely for information/administrative purposes.
You need to enable the switch below TAOs to subscribe to changes/updates.
Arguments
Arguments allow you to pass command line switches to an application installation. This is commonly used to define language options or license key that need to be present at installation time.
Some packages include Technical Help, to explain possible Arguments and other Requirements.
Expert Settings
RealmJoin App Deployment and Agent required
The RealmJoin Client packages allow Expert Settings which modify an app's deployment behavior. These can be reached via the Config tab.
