Event details
Kind of a wishlist for future features, to make provisioning a replacement device friendlier for the user.
With Windows Backup when a user sets up a new PC they are asked if they want to restore data (configs, settings etc.)
It would be nice if they were also asked if they want to install any self-service apps that they have previously installed from Company Portal.
Obviously everything that is flagged as Required will be installed, but I am talking about those that are Available which they have previously downloaded. Maybe give them checkboxes so that they can select which ones they want or don't want.
These don't have to necessarily install during ESP but if a progress dialog is automatically shown to the user so that they can see what is happening that would be nice. Actually that would be great for the Required apps as it would stop users from calling the help desk when things that aren't blockers in ESP haven't installed yet. Yes they can check Downloads in Company Portal but which users ever actually do that? Needs to be something nice and obvious along the lines of "We aren't quite finished yet but you can get on with your day while we do this in the background"
Don't offer to install Available items which have been superseded, and allow admins to mark apps as not being appropriate to offer to install, e.g. a script which gathers data and sends to the help desk and which is packaged as a script to make the user able to run it without admin creds.
Hi BillGallop, Do you have access to our internal development information? I ask because this almost exact feature is in development. No guarantees or commitments and nothing to more to share other than great suggestion, we're on it 😀 and thank you.
