Hello App Portal Team

I have a question from the user asking whether it's possible for App Portal Catalogue item to choose which deployment tool to use based on the question that user answered?

My understanding the App Portal Catalogue Item support multiple deployment tool eg:  SCCM & Altiris .  But is it feasible to based on the answer of the question then to pick the corresponding deployment tool to deploy the software ?

Thank you in advance if can confirm.

Best Regards

No, that isn't possible, but also shouldn't be necessary unless the devices are being managed by both deployment systems, which isn't a good thing.  When configuring the deployment systems, you select the priority order for the clients.  App Broker will check each deployment system in priority order until it finds one that is managing the selected device.  It will then use that deployment system to deploy the software (assuming it has the selected package).  That priority order is static for the entire catalog and not dependent on the catalog item selected; however, you could have different catalog items with different deployment systems enabled for that catalog item.
