Admin Portal: "Automatic" or "Manual" desktop app update push for new releases
Allow controlled release of desktop app releases by Admin. Combine with "Desktop app version report" feature to help audit app version information across the company.
Have slider option for "Automatic" (current deployment strategy) or "Manual" for a company wide initiated release of the latest version to all desktop app instances using an "install" button to release the updates.
Current "automatic" strategy leads to uncontrolled releases for our end users. This unpredictability leads to disconnected / dropped / missed calls while the user waits for the desktop app to upgrade and, if necessitated, desktop phone to reboot.
We have a monthly update window for other updates on the network to provide a controlled time for disruptions to occur. I would like to manually control the RC Desktop App update process to occur during this window.
Also, I would prefer a single point of control for the manual update to push new versions to all desktop apps simultaneously (as opposed to individually logging into each desktop to initiate the upgrade).
