Creating a Catalog Item Using Technopedia Data
An App Broker catalog item is an application or package from the ConfigMgr deployment system that is listed on App Broker’s Browse Catalog page, making it available for selection in the App Broker storefront. Administrators can use the consistent and accurate industry standard data from the Technopedia data intelligence library.
Note:App Broker Cloud is integrated with Technopedia out-of-the-box.
You can use the Technopedia ID field to search the data intelligence library for software assets from Technopedia using keywords—such as Title, Version, and Edition—and make a selection to create a Software catalog item containing either an application or a package.
The following table provides a description of fields on this view:
