Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud allows you to leverage Intune App Categories (Categories) in your deployments to help users find apps in the Company Portal.

Important

This documentation is for a pre-release feature still under development and, therefore, incomplete. As a result, both functionality and documentation are subject to change.

Once this feature is released, it will be announced and this banner removed.

Note

See the Create and edit categories for apps section of Add apps to Microsoft Intune for more information on App Categories.

To add a Category:

1. Click the Categories tab.

2. Scroll down to the Categories section.

3. Go to Step 5 to add a new category or click the Add Category dropdown to see a list of existing Categories.

4. Select the check box beside the relevant Categories.

Tip

You can click the X beside a Category in the Add Category field to delete it from the list.

1. To add a new Category, type the name and press ENTER to add it to the Category list in Intune.

Note

You can create up to 200 categories per Intune tenant. Each category name must:

• Be unique

• Be less than 255 characters

• Not contain the backslash (\) or quote (") characters

• Not be the name of a script.

The Success – The category “<category_name>” has been created notification is shown, confirming the new category has been added to Intune and it will appear in the list of categories. {CHANGE]

Note

See Check App Categories for details on how to check within Intune that the Categories defined in the deployment have been assigned correctly.

1. Configure any other settings on the Configurations page as required, then click Next to move to the Assignments page.

Note

If different Categories are configured in the portal and Intune admin center they are combined to be the same.

If a Category is created in the portal and then removed from the Intune admin center, it will be re-added by the portal.

Categories are also copied forward to a new version of an app.
