Manage Managed Apps

How to administer apps discovered as Managed in the Patch My PC Cloud portal

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

Once an app appears on the Managed tab of the Discovery node, it means there is at least one matching deployment in either Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud or our on-premises Publisher for that app.

To administer a Managed app:

1. Navigate to the Discovery node.

2. Click the Managed tab.

   

   The list of discovered managed apps is shown.

   

   The following columns are shown on this page:

Column	Description
App Name	The name of the app, which is always taken from our App Catalog as there may be a situation where multiple products from an app have been mapped to a single discovered app from Intune. In such cases, we show you the multiple records for each app.
Vendor	As shown in Intune. If no vendor name exists in Intune, we show the one from our App Catalog.
# Of Installs	The number of installations of this app in your environment.
Assigned To All	Shows: • How the app was deployed • Whether there is at least one deployment with a Required or Update Only assignment type that is assigned to All Users or All Devices • Unknown if the app has only been deployed via Publisher.

Note

See the Discovery Managed Apps Reference for more information and examples of how various apps appear on the Managed tab depending on how they have been deployed.

Tip

Hovering over either the value in the Assigned To All column or Edit button for a deployment will show a tooltip providing more information.

3. Click the Edit button beside the app you want to edit:

• If the app only has one deployment, the Edit button includes a pencil ().
• If the app has more than one deployment, the Edit button includes a down arrow () beside it, which, when clicked, provides a dropdown list of all of the deployments for the app, from which you can choose the deployment you want to edit.

Note

If the Edit button is unavailable, the deployment was created in Publisher and cannot be managed through the portal.

Important

We do not recommend deploying the same app through the Publisher and PMPC Cloud to avoid settings conflicts and unwanted app behavior.

The Deployment Wizard starts, allowing you to make any required changes.

4. Make any required changes, then click Save to save them.

Important

Remember, it can take up to 24 hours for the changes you make to be applied to the discovery data, and even then, up to a week for an app to appear on the Managed tab unless you refresh your discovery data.
