Featured Items in Managed Software Center

About Featured Items

Support for Featured Items in Managed Software Center will be added in a future release of Munki.

Overview

Managed Software Center will display "Featured" items if there are any in the list of optional installs. If there are any "Featured" items, it replaces the "All Items" view.

Implementation

Add a featured_items section to a manifest containing the items you wish to feature:

        <key>featured_items</key>
        <array>
            <string>Office2016</string>
            <string>Slack</string>
            <string>SuperSolitaire2017</string>
        </array>

Featured items must be available via optional_installs; in other words, adding an item to featured_items does not automatically make it an optional_install -- it only makes it "Featured" if it is an optional_install

Localization notes

The "Featured items" label and "Featured" category label will need to be localized into the languages supported by Managed Software Center. ("Featured items" could also be "Featured software" if that translates more clearly.)
