Distribution overview

The Distribution Overview is your central hub for managing software distributions. Distributions are collections of commands (software artifacts and custom commands) that can be deployed to devices as a coordinated package. You can define execution sequences and manage the rollout process efficiently.

What are distributions?

Distributions are created in the Device Portal to bundle and use a defined number of commands (software artifacts and custom commands) for a rollout. A sequence of these commands can be defined, which are then executed one after the other during the rollout.

Distribution management

If a distribution has not yet been used for a rollout, it can be edited in the Distribution Overview. Processing involves adding or deleting commands.

If a distribution has already been used for a rollout, it can no longer be edited. In this case, a copy of the distribution can be created, which can then be edited.

Clicking on a distribution will display all elements that have been added to this distribution in the right-hand list (detailed list).

Distribution management tasks

  • Managing distributions

    Create new distributions, edit their metadata (name, description, version), and copy existing distributions.

  • Managing commands in distributions

    Add, edit, and remove commands (software artifacts and custom commands) in your distributions.

  • Rolling out distributions

    Once your distribution is configured, it can be deployed to devices from the Device Overview.
