User Readiness

App Portal 2021 R1

App Portal’s User Readiness feature can be used to control which users are permitted to select an OSD catalog item, and to specify when they can schedule a deployment. You can set a start and end date to establish a deployment window for each user, including recommended blackout dates, and notify the users of these constraints via email.
