Managing Managed Apps

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

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

To administer a Managed app:

  1. Navigate to the Discovery node.

  2. Click the Managed tab.

    Clicking the “Managed” tab.

    The list of discovered managed apps is shown.

The following columns are shown on this page:

ColumnDescription

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 whether there is at least one deployment with a required or update only assignment type that is assigned to All Users or All Devices: • A red X ()indicates there isn’t. • A green tick () indicates there is.

  1. 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.

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

    1. 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.
