Hey folks,

We migrated from using policies onto using Jamf App Catalog to handle our standardize applications (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, VLC, etc) for auto patching the latest builds and offering the software for workstations without the software to download from Self Service+.

We’re looking into configuring Jamf Setup Manager, however since we do not have triggers from policies for software, I’m curious if anyone has found a workaround or best practice for this. I’m interested in hearing your thoughts, workarounds, and recommendations.

Thank you,

JSM supports a watch pad you can set for it to wait on the App Installers. See https://github.com/jamf/Setup-Manager/blob/main/ConfigurationProfile.md#watch-path
