One thing which we would like to see which Patch my PC is very close to offering is being able to create groups and monitor devices within the group.
In the portal app discovery (which I’m assuming is from the Intune monitor Discovered apps), you can see that X PC’s have Y software, but you can only use preexisting groups to deploy to.
Would it be possible to have the portal create groups based upon the app it’s found, and include the devices with said app in the group? Then when you run a refresh it updates the PC’s in those groups?
I know from the AppInvRawData export it lists the device names. So adding those devices should only require the permissions to create the groups and add the devices to it.

Comparison to ConfigMgr Dynamic Collections
This proposed feature would mirror the behavior of dynamic collections in Microsoft Configuration Manager, where device group membership is automatically updated based on inventory data (e.g., installed applications). By leveraging app discovery data already available in PMPC, the portal could:
Automatically create and maintain device groups based on detected software.
Dynamically update group membership as devices install or uninstall the app.
Enable targeted deployments and reporting without manual group management.
This would bring a familiar and powerful capability from ConfigMgr into the cloud-native PMPC environment, easing the transition for organizations moving from on-prem to cloud-based management.
