Hi,
I know that application catalog does not exists anymore. Is there anyway to provide the users all in the company available applications? I know I can do that with deploy to user collection as approval, but it is the solution I am looking for. What I wan to have is the following option on the software center:
A rider on the left site for example like "more Application"
Or is there a third party tools?
Regards
Nick
Hello Nick,
The Application Catalog roles have been deprecated in the recent ConfigMgr releases, however, you can still deploy an application to a user's collection with 'available' deployment type. The same for email approbation, you will find more details in the following documentation:
For the Software Center tab, you can customize it under Client Settings, see my following blog:

Hello Saad,
I know how I can add Software center tab. But my question was how I can create a new tab and add my application in that tab. I can only add there at the time a URL and nothing else
Hello. Until now, it's not supported by default by ConfigMgr, but there are mutiple third-party tools that you can integrate for this need.
"mutiple third-party tools"????
Could you send some Links?
I'm not sure but you can take a look of this tool if it supports what you're looking for:

Otherwise, if your mean goal is to regroup some apps, I would suggest to you to upgrade your ConfigMgr platform to at least 2211 version to have the new Featured Apps capability and adapt it for your need. Or you can also use categories for your applications.

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
Yes, there are still ways to provide users with a list of available applications in your company through SCCM. One way to do this with SCCM is by deploying applications as "Available" to user collections, and users can browse the Software Center and install apps they need.
Rather than using the approval method that you mentioned, you can give users access to more applications by making them "featured" and encouraging users to use them. SCCM administrators can mark apps as "featured," and they will show up in the "Featured" tab in Software Center for users to browse. This feature is currently only available for "User Available" apps.

Also, admins can make the Featured tab of Software Center as the default tab from Client Settings.

Hi,
Thank you for your replay. Firstly I don't have the option "Featured" in my setting( my sccm version 2207), secondly I am asking for application catalog and not for Application available in software center.
Do you know a third party tools for application catalog?
If you want to provide users with a way to see all available apps in a single view, you can create a dedicated web page with links to all the available apps.
Alternatively, you can use a third-party tool like "AppHub" that provides similar functionality.
However, please note that we do not have enough information to recommend specific third-party tools.
what is !AppHub"? Is that Mircorsoft Tool? or what? Could you send me a link?
