Legacy App Catalogs and the Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub
Use the Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub, with its app catalog component, to manage your applications and devices in your Workspace ONE UEM deployment. There are legacy app catalogs that still have settings in the Workspace ONE UEM console, the AirWatch Catalog and the Workspace ONE app. However, these apps are no longer the best systems to use as an app catalog for Workspace ONE UEM.
Documentation for the Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub
The Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub is a component of Workspace ONE Hub Services. Although the Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub has an app catalog, it serves many other purposes in managing your Workspace ONE UEM-deployed devices.
- Workspace ONE Hub Services: See the VMware Workspace ONE Hub Services Documentation site for information about Workspace ONE Hub Services and its components and features.
- Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub:
- See Setting up the App Catalog in Hub Services for details on the app catalog component.
- See Deploying the Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub Application App for information on deploying the app for Android, iOS, and macOS platforms.

Legacy Apps - Workspace ONE App and AirWatch Catalog
These apps still have settings in the Workspace ONE UEM console. However, consider using the Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub and its app catalog component.
The Workspace ONE catalog integrates resources from environments that use Workspace ONE UEM and Workspace ONE Access. If your deployment does not use Workspace ONE UEM , you still have access to the features previously released for the AirWatch Catalog.
The navigation in the Workspace ONE UEM console, Groups & Settings > All Settings > Apps > Workspace ONE, highlights the Workspace ONE catalog. However, options under the Workspace ONE title are supported for the AirWatch Catalog. The options under the AirWatch Catalog apply specifically to it and are not necessary for the Workspace ONE catalog.
Review brief descriptions of the options available for both Workspace ONE and the AirWatch Catalog and those options that apply specifically to the AirWatch Catalog.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Application Categories | Group applications and identify their uses with custom application categories. |
| Paid Public Applications | Deploy paid public iOS applications in situations not feasible to use Apple’s Volume Purchase Program (VPP). |
| App Restrictions | Restrict iOS devices older than iOS 9 by restricting installations of only assigned applications approved by the organization. |
| External App Repository | Enable an external app repository if you want to host internal applications on your network with an external application repository and manage the applications with Workspace ONE UEM. |
| Application Removal Protection | Configure threshold values to control the dispatch of application removal commands for critical internal applications. |
AirWatch Catalog Specific Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| AirWatch Catalog > Standalone Catalog | Configure a standalone catalog if your environment does not use MDM functionality. The standalone catalog has limited features. |
| AirWatch Catalog > Feature Applications | Display featured applications in a prominent place in the AirWatch Catalog. |
| AirWatch Catalog > General | Configure general settings for the AirWatch Catalog. |
Transition Behavior from the AirWatch Catalog to Workspace ONE
As Workspace ONE UEM migrates to the Workspace ONE catalog, many AirWatch Catalog behaviors in previous releases change. When you added a Web Clips profile, you can show it in the AirWatch Catalog. The option was editable.
In some Workspace ONE UEM versions, the Show in App Catalog / Container option is not editable. If you use the Workspace ONE catalog, that catalog displays all Web Clips, no matter what is configured for Show in App Catalog / Container. If you use the AirWatch Catalog, saving the Web Clips shows it in the AirWatch Catalog.
