Specify Application Properties for Application Portal
The application properties described here determine how the application will be displayed in
Application Portal on a Mac and will be used as filter criteria. If you would like to configure the
application to be installed silently without adding to Application Portal (you will choose the
installation type later), you may skip this sub-section.
To set the application properties for Application Portal:
1 Right-click the application that you've created in the previous step and click Properties in the
context menu. This will open the <application_name> Properties dialog.
2 Click the Application Catalog tab and set the following properties:
• Selected language — Select the language version of the application from the drop-down
list. Click Add/Remove to add additional languages if needed.
• Localized application name — Specify the application name in the language selected in
the Selected language field.
• User categories — Click Edit to specify user categories that the users of the catalog can
use to filter and sort the available applications.
• Icon — Click Browse to select an icon for this application.
• Display this as a featured app and highlight it in the company portal — If you select
this option, the application will be listed in the Featured Applications list in Application
Portal on a Mac. The list is displayed on the All Applications tab page in Application Portal
and is immediately visible to the user.
3 If the application that you are creating is an upgrade or a replacement for an existing application
in Application Portal, then you can specify a supersedence relationship on the Supersedence
tab page. Select the Allow users to see deployments for this an all applications that it
supersedes... option if you want to display all versions iof the application n Application Portal. If
the option is cleared, only the top application will be shown in Application Portal.
4 Click OK to close the Properties dialog.
Configuring Deployment Type
A deployment type for the application is created automatically when you create the Configuration
Manager application. This section describes some of the deployment type properties that you may
want to modify.
