  2. Ensure you are in the "No Team" team (visible at the top of the screen).
  3. Click the "Add Software" button on the right side of the screen.

Step 3: Choose the application to add

The application configuration screen offers two options:

  1. Applications maintained by FleetDM: These are automatically managed and updated by FleetDM.
  2. Upload your own application: Add custom applications that aren't in FleetDM's maintained list.

Step 4: Define the installation target

After selecting your application, specify the installation scope:

  • All devices: Deploy to all enrolled devices.
  • Devices associated with a Label: Target specific users or devices using Labels.

How Labels work:

  • Labels are automatically generated in FleetDM from Profiles and Tags configured in Factorial IT.
  • Look for the [SET BY PRIMO] indicator to identify them in FleetDM.

Step 5: Automatic Installation

Important: During our current process migration, applications added via FleetDM won't appear in the Factorial IT cockpit. This feature will be available in the coming weeks.
