Application information settings are located on the Application Manager Settings > Environment Settings page.
Basic Application Information Settings
Application Name Format: The default naming format will display Publisher, Application, and Version information in that order (For example, Microsoft Office 365 v1.022.192).
To change the application name format:
1. On the Environment Settings page, click the Deployment Processes and Basic tabs.
2. Under Application Name Format, remove any categories you don't want to display in the application name by clicking the X next to the category.
3. Add one or more categories to the application name by choosing them from the drop-down menu.
4. Drag-and-drop the categories into the desired order.
To return the application name format to its default settings, click the Reset to Recast defaults icon.
Advanced Application Information Settings
On the Deployment Processes > Advanced tab, you can set an application category and add a description. You can also choose to feature a chosen application.
To set advanced application information settings:
1. On the Environment Settings page, click the Deployment Processes and Advanced tabs.
2. Select an application category from the drop-down.
3. Add a description. Maximum of 500 characters.
4. To display the software as a featured application, enable Display as featured app.
5. Enter an Information URL, a Privacy URL, and an Owner.
6. Add Administrator Notes. Maximum of 500 characters.
To return the category name or description to their default settings, click the Reset to Recast defaults icon.
To set program options:
1. Set any Additional Installation Parameters or Additional Uninstallation Parameters.
Any additional installation parameters are appended to the default install/uninstall commands used by Application Manager. Additional parameters cannot be used to override the default installation commands.
All applications deployed by a deployment process where additional parameters are applied must be able to use the commands specified using this setting. We recommend creating an individual deployment process for each application that requires additional parameters, and then adding those commands to each of the newly-created deployment processes, rather than applying a global setting.
2. Select the Device restart behavior:
- Determine behavior based on return codes (default)
- No specific action
- App install may force a device restart
- Intune will force a mandatory device restart
3. Click the Edit icon to choose any Groups excluded from deployment.
4. Choose whether to Allow the Available Uninstall. By default, this option is set to Yes.
You can enable cleanup features for old application versions and set whether previous versions are automatically removed when the deployment of a newer version begins. By default, all cleanup options are set to Yes.
To set deployment process cleanup options, enable or disable the function to Clean up previous versions.
You can additionally choose to Remove previous versions, which automatically removes old application versions from Intune and removes files from the content location.
To set the deployment process cleanup interval:
1. In your Recast Management Server, navigate to Administration > Settings.
2. Under the Application Manager Plugin, set the Cleanup Applications Interval. By default, cleanup is set to occur every 10 minutes.
Applications Manager offers a number of settings to configure the supercedence rules around application versions.
To set supercedence options:
1. Choose to Enable supersedence: Default is Yes.
You can additionally choose to Uninstall superseded applications before installation: Default is No. Application Manager can update previous application versions without the uninstall option. The automatic task sequence update feature will not work if this option is set to Yes.
2. Select a supercedence method:
- All previous versions (default): Supersedes all previous versions that aren't removed
- Previous version: Supercedes only the previous version
3. Choose a Maximum Allowed Runtime: Set Hours and/or Minutes (cannot exceed 12 hours)
Reset All Deployment Processes to Default Settings
After the default deployment process configuration is set up, you might choose to set different options for other deployment processes. It's possible to return all deployment processes to default settings but doing so means that any custom settings will be lost.
To re-apply default settings to all deployment processes:
1. On the Application Manager Settings page, open the Deployment Processes tab.
2. Click Reset all to default and confirm the reset.
Reset Individual Settings to Defaults
To return an individual setting to its default, click the Reset to Recast defaults icon next to the setting.
