New features and improvements in AppVentiX 3.5
Housekeeping
A new housekeeping functionality has been added, AppVentiX will now automatically detect if there are publishing tasks configured for non-existing packages. For example when a package has been updated or removed from the content share you will receive below informational pop-up so you are aware of any publishing tasks that are pointing to non-existing packages. From here, you can directly cleanup the old publishing tasks, this will keep your application publishing information clean and consistent.
Import existing app attach packages
A new app attach feature has been added which allows you to import existing app attach packages created with other tools. When new app attach packages are found in the content inventory the below popup is displayed allowing you to import the app attach package. After import they become visible in the content inventory and are instantly ready for delivery.
Select custom icons for AVD publishing
You can now select a custom icon when publishing applications to AVD. By default the icon from the selected application is used. Now you can also select another icon by clicking on the icon button.
Improved content inventory
The content inventory is now much quicker, multiple improvements have been made to improve the inventory time.
New MSIX package data roaming options
It’s now easier then ever to configure MSIX package data to roam with the user.
