Overview
Desktop Manager consolidates Launchpad and Software Deployment Portal into a single location. Details about these programs can be found below
Launchpad
LaunchPad is a console that provides access to packages, executables, URLs and process manager links that have been individually configured for a managed
device. LaunchPad provides one-click access to local, hosted, or just-in-time applications- which are not installed until the icon is clicked by an end-user.
Software Deployment Portal
Software Deployment Portal displays all software distribution packages that have been deployed using an optional or recommended policy based delivery method. It provides a simple way for users to install software from a list of approved applications without having administrator privileges.
In order to add software to the Landesk Deployment Portal, create a schedule task for a distribution package, and set the delivery method to Policy->Always listed for installation.
