Landesk Portal Manager

Overview

Portal Manager consolidates URLS, applications, and webapps into a single location. Details about these programs can be found below

Launchpad

LaunchPad is a window that provides users 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.

Launchpad also 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 Portal Manager, create a schedule task for a distribution package, drag the computer or computers you wish to target, and set the delivery method to "Policy"-> "Always listed for installation", and start the task for All machines.
