Available options
-
Install automatically — the app is silently pushed to all targeted devices. Toggle on or off at any time; toggling off deletes the underlying Fleet auto-install policy and reverts the software to manual install.
.pkg, .msi — Primo auto-generates the detection policy. No extra configuration required..exe, .ps1, .deb, .rpm, .sh, .tar.gz — Fleet cannot auto-generate the detection policy for these installers. When you enable Automatic Install, Primo pre-fills a best-effort osquery based on the software name. Review and edit the query before saving. See How to find the right program name for help..ipa (iOS / iPadOS) — automatic install is not supported.
