Deployments

Deployments are used to sequence a set of application installations during the imaging process of both virtual and physical devices. For more information about starting or enabling deployments, see Agent Configuration for the Liquit Workspace Agent and Agent Configuration for the Liquit Universal Agent.

Overview screen

This screen provides a few basic options to configure the deployment.

The Copy button in the main menu of this screen gives you the option to create a duplicate of the current deployment.

Assignments screen

This screen displays a list of identities like contexts, devices and device collections associated to the deployment.
To add an identity, simply start typing in the lookup field for the desired identity and select it from the results lists. Or select the browse button at the right of the lookup field to open the Identity dialog box and view all the corresponding identities available. When you assign a context, device or device collection you can choose which stage of a package needs to be assigned to the selected identity.

To view the details of an assignment or edit it, double-click its entry.

Events screen

Displays all events that are associated with the deployment.
The following columns are available:

Type - The type of the event associated with the deployment.
Status - Shows whether or no the event was completed successfully.
Identity - The user that triggered the event. For example, the user who initiated a deployment.
Device - The device the user was logged on when the event was triggered.
Package - The name of the deployment associated with the event. This column is hidden by default.
Time - The date and time the event was triggered.

Filters screen

Filters allow you to define when a deployment is available for a device based on certain requirements. For example, only enable the deployment if a certain file is available on the device to which the deployment is assigned.

Filters are grouped by filter sets, and you can use the 'AND' or 'OR' operators between sets of filters and within sets.

For more information about the filters used for deployments, see the Package filters article.

Packages screen

View, add or remove packages from the deployment. To add a package, simply start typing in the lookup field for the desired one and select it from the results lists. Or select the browse button at the right of the lookup field to open the Package dialog box and view all the available packages.
