Editable properties

We can edit the following fields:

Description

Use this field to describe the application to the mobile user.

Recommended

Select Recommended to indicate that you recommend users to install this application. Recommended applications appear in a special list of recommended applications in the mobile client.

Usually only one application is qualified as Installer and is called the mobile client. This application is documented in The mobile client.

Active

Select Active to indicate that an application can be installed on a mobile device. If we do not select Active, the mobile user will not see the application in the list of available applications displayed on the device.

If we do not select Active, the application is inactive. In the list of available applications in Application Management, if Show inactive is selected, the application is disabled.

If Show inactive is not selected, the application does not appear in the list of available applications.

Ready for production

Select Ready for production to indicate that an application can be managed by the application store of Tivoli Endpoint Manager. Applications with this property selected are the only ones that are flagged to Tivoli Endpoint Manager. The property Ready for production indicates that an application is ready to be deployed in a production environment and is therefore suitable to be managed by Tivoli Endpoint Manager through its application store.
