Non-pinned apps are all apps that are not assigned to a device via the UMS, regardless of whether the assignment was made via a profile or directly. This applies to apps that are dependencies of other apps, for instance. Example: The app Citrix Multimedia Codec is a dependency for the Citrix Workspace App

Info

Consider Network Load

It is recommended to take into account the network load that occurs when a large number of devices download the updated apps. If required, use the settings Use a bandwidth limit while updating and Limit bandwidth used for updating.

Non-pinned apps are all apps that are not assigned to a device via the UMS, regardless of whether the assignment was made via a profile or directly. This applies to apps that are dependencies of other apps, for instance. Example: The app Citrix Multimedia Codec is a dependency for the Citrix Workspace App.

If the defined checking time has been missed because the device has no network or cannot reach the UMS or the IGEL App Portal, the update check is queued until the connection is available again. If the defined checking time has been missed because the device has been powered off, the update check will not be queued.

The number defines the priority of the repository, where a larger number means a higher priority. The priority determines the order the device tries to connect to download apps.

Numbers are accepted from 0 to 4294967295.
