Backlog Tab of Application Manager Ribbon

AdminStudio 2021 R2 | 22.0 | Application Manager

The Backlog tab helps you manage and execute the requests you get for creating packages for deployment. Backlog Tab is where you will maintain a backlog of all your package requests. A package request consists of details of an application like Product Name, Version, Vendor etc for which you wish to create a package for deployment. A package request also has other properties like Priority and Source to help you better manage your package request backlog. The Backlog Tab provides you an option to import bulk package requests at once, typically a list of applications in a .csv format obtained from a inventory system like ConfigMgr or other CMDB systems. You can leverage Package Automation in the Backlog Tab to subscribe packages for automation. For more information, see Using Package Automation.
