Base Application automatically create deployment

I'd like this feature, but more to take advantage of the Administrator Approval app installation. We'd like all apps created by PatchMyPC to be made available to a collection with the deployment setting "An administrator must approve a request for this application on the device." This would allow us to add all machines (or ones we desire) into this collection, which would enable us to right-click them under device and "Install Application". But we retain versions with PatchMyPC, so we only want the latest one available.

I'm currently doing this manually via a syncing script, but would be a great feature to have built into the product.

If done properly, this could have item 355 rolled into it, since that item is asking for very similar things and honestly any implementation of it will likely cover that ask.

This is an awesome idea...

Having an offset, would be nice... Create the app, deploy to your pilot, then prod...

Lack of control for pilot/required deployments caused use to home brew custom apps and detection objects and just sync the content so we could control changes that occur on a sync. Having offset deployments would allow us to just trust the automation.

any eta? ^^

automating this will save the amout of time to sit and deploy manually for every then and now on new releases..

Fantastic idea, this would be incredibly useful! :)

Great Idea

cool idea, i need this :)

we need this

we need this too,

would like this too

We would need an individual configuration for each product. For example, some products have only one available install deployment, others have a required install deployment, an available install deployment and a required uninstall deployment. For each deployment there are individual (in our case devices) collections.

Nic W, wouldn't an ADR achieve this goal already? 

You could also make this work for the updates, too, with an auto deployment to a set collection, similar to how SCCM upgrades have the Pre-Production Client designation.

My initial thought was for a single deployment to a user collection that takes care of testing but your idea is even better since we could grant access to different users depending on the application. 

Would you want the deploying of the application configurable at each product level?

A phased deployment option would also be useful.

Good idea, we will monitor this to see what other customers up-vote this idea.
