You can use this page to assign an App Volumes application to an entity and unassign an application from an entity when the application is already packaged and you need to perform only assign or unassign operations.

To perform assign and unassign operations when an application is not yet packaged, see Assign an Application to an Entity and Unassign an Application from an Entity respectively.

When using this page to perform assign and unassign operations, you can be aware of the following additional information:

  • From the Entity page, you can assign only application packages marked as CURRENT.

  • If the application is in a synchronization relationship with the source instance and the assignment synchronization is activated, then you cannot perform the assign operation from this instance (target). Hence, the application is not displayed on this page.

    For more information about the criteria for assignment synchronization, see Criteria for Application Synchronization.

  • When assigning an application, depending on your requirement, you can select the Limit delivery for these assignments option with the assignment.
    Note: This option is available only for non-computer entities ( Users, Groups, and OUs).

    When this option is selected, the Application Assignments section on the Entity details page displays the computer prefix information.

    For more information about the limit delivery option, see Application Assignment to Specific Computers.

  • When assigning an application, depending on your requirement, you can select the Do not deliver for these assignments at startup or login option with the assignment.

    For more information about this option, see Assign an Application to an Entity.
